<title>Setting up a data server</title>
|

|
|
<h2>Setting up a data server</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The BOINC data server is implemented as an Apache
|
||
|
|
or similar web server.
|
||
|
|
Its upload function runs as a CGI program.
|
||
|
|
It has been tested under Linux and Solaris.
|
||
|
|
The host need not have access to the BOINC database.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
You must copy the file upload authentication key
|
||
|
|
to each data server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Compiling the file upload handler</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The upload handler, file_upload_handler,
|
||
|
|
is compiled by the makefile in sched/.
|
||
|
|
The following environment variables must be defined first:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
setenv BOINC_UPLOAD_DIR /users/barry/upload
|
||
|
|
setenv BOINC_KEY_DIR /users/barry/keys
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
BOINC_UPLOAD_DIR is that path of the upload directory.
|
||
|
|
BOINC_KEY_DIR is a directory containing the
|
||
|
|
file upload authentication public key.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Web server configuration</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
You must edit your web server configuration file
|
||
|
|
to allow access to the download directory
|
||
|
|
and to the file-upload CGI program.
|
||
|
|
For example, the addition to Apache's httpd.conf might be:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
Alias /barry/ "/users/barry/"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Directory "/users/barry/">
|
||
|
|
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
|
||
|
|
AllowOverride None
|
||
|
|
Order allow,deny
|
||
|
|
Alias from all
|
||
|
|
</Directory>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ScriptAlias /boinc-cgi/ "/users/barry/cgi/"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Directory "/users/barry/cgi/">
|
||
|
|
AllowOverride None
|
||
|
|
Options None
|
||
|
|
Order allow,deny
|
||
|
|
Allow from all
|
||
|
|
</Directory>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
