In the spider tree will be a directory spider-web. This is a +neat little java web applet that can be run from a website. The applet +must run on the same machine as the cluster. The included README file is +shown below.
+ +I should comment here that the applet is precompiled, that is, ready to go. +It was compiled using JDK1.3.1. If your version is earlier than this then it +may not work. Should that be the case you need to recompile or update your +JDK. To recompile do the following ...
++
+
+cd /spider/spider-web
+rm *.class
+/usr/bin/javac spiderclient.java
+
+I have used /usr/bin/javac as an example, your path to javac may be different.

+Spider-WEB v0.6b + +Completely based on a clx web client written in Java by dl6dbh +(ftp://clx.muc.de/pub/clx/clx-java_10130001.tgz) + +The webserver has to run on the same machine as your DxSpider software! + +It is assumed that you have Java installed. You need JDK1.3.1 at least. + +Installation instructions (Performed as root): + +Put all the files in the spider-web directory into a newly created directory +under the DocumentRoot of your websever for instance 'client'. In my case +this is: /home/httpd/html/client/ although ymmv. For Suse the correct +path should be /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/client/ for example. + +Move spider.cgi to the cgi-bin directory of your webserver, in my case that is +/home/httpd/cgi-bin/ although ymmv. For Suse the correct path should be +/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/ for example. + +Change the permissions of the files to ensure they are correct, obviously you +will need to use the correct path the the files according to your system: + +chmod 755 /home/httpd/html/cgi-bin/spider.cgi +chmod -R 755 /home/httpd/html/client/ + +By default the spider.cgi script should pick up your hostname (As long as this +is set correctly). If it does not or your hostname differs from the name that +you attach to the public address that you are using, then edit spider.cgi : + +# Uncomment and set the hostname manually here if the above fails. +# $HOSTNAME = "gb7mbc.spoo.org" ; +$PORT = "8000" ; + +'HOSTNAME' is the hostname of your cluster. + +'PORT' is the portnumber that you use to connect to your DxSpider via +telnet (see Listeners.pm) + +NOTE: If you can start the console but cannot connect to the cluster from it, +then it is possible that the machine you are on cannot resolve the hostname of +your cluster machine. If this is the case, you need to set your hostname +manually as above. + +You also need to set the $NODECALL variable. This prints the name of your +choosing (probably your cluster callsign) on the html page. + +You now can connect to Spider-Web via http://yourserver/cgi-bin/spider.cgi ++ + +
