|
Unzip and untar the BOINC release, and compile it by typing
|
|
|
|
|
"configure" and "make". To install in /usr/local/boinc, type "make
|
|
|
|
|
install".
|

|
|
|
|
|
If Apache is configured to run with Fast CGI, rename fcgi to cgi in
|
|
|
|
|
the "boinc/sched" directory, replacing the existing cgi.

|
|
|
Edit your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) to set the
|
|
|
|
|
"boinc/sched" directory as CGI, and to allow uploads to to the upload
|
|
|
|
|
directory.

setenv BOINC_DOWNLOAD_DIR /usr/local/boinc/download
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> This directory should be set to be web accessible via Apache. If
|
|
|
|
|
you plan on using a different directory, be sure to set the
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_DOWNLOAD_DIR properly so as to point to the correct directory. It
|
|
|
|
|
is important that this directory is different from the BOINC_UPLOAD_DIR.
|

|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_UPLOAD_DIR /usr/local/boinc/upload
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> This directory should be set to be web accessible via Apache. If
|
|
|
|
|
you plan on using a different directory, be sure to set the
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_UPLOAD_DIR properly so as to point to the correct directory. It is
|
|
|
|
|
important that this directory is different from the BOINC_DOWNLOAD_DIR.
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_PLATFORM_NAME
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> This is set when configure is run in the client directory. It is
|
|
|
|
|
used by the client to determine the name of the BOINC client. <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_EMAIL mgary@ssl.berkeley.edu
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> This is currently used by one of the test scripts. It is not
|
|
|
|
|
critical for the running of BOINC. <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_URL_BASE http://localhost/download
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> This should be set to a url that points to the
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_DOWNLOAD_DIR. Currently, this is the same as the
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_DOWNLOAD_URL, although it may change in the future. <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
BOINC_KEY_DIR /usr/local/boinc/key_dir
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> This should be set to a directory in which the public and private
|
|
|
|
|
keys for BOINC are to be created. If you wish to place this in a
|
|
|
|
|
different directory, change the variable appropriately. <pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>setenv BOINC_KEY 0xdadacafe</b>
|
|
|
|
|
</pre> This should be set to any 32 bit hex value desired. To run
|
|
|
|
|
multiple instances of BOINC on one machine, each instance needs to have
|
|
|
|
|
a different BOINC_KEY compiled into it.
