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

<h2>Setting up a scheduling server</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The BOINC scheduling server runs as a CGI or fast CGI
|
||
|
|
program under Apache or similar web server.
|
||
|
|
It has been tested on Linux and Solaris.
|
||
|
|
The host must have access to the BOINC database.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The scheduling server uses an auxiliary program
|
||
|
|
called "feeder"; the two programs communicate
|
||
|
|
through a shared-memory segment.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The scheduling server and feeder programs are compiled
|
||
|
|
by typing "configure" and "make" in the sched/ directory.
|
||
|
|
Prior to doing this, you must define
|
||
|
|
the following environment variables:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
setenv BOINC_DB_NAME boinc_barry
|
||
|
|
setenv BOINC_DB_PASSWD
|
||
|
|
setenv BOINC_SHMEM_KEY 0xdabacafe
|
||
|
|
setenv BOINC_KEY_DIR /users/david/boinc_server/keys
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
BOINC_DB_NAME and BOINC_DB_PASSWORD are the
|
||
|
|
name and password of the BOINC database.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
BOINC_SHMEM_KEY is the identifier of the
|
||
|
|
shared-memory segment;
|
||
|
|
it is an arbitrary 32-bit quantity,
|
||
|
|
but must be unique among different BOINC servers
|
||
|
|
sharing a single host.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
BOINC_KEY_DIR is the directory containing
|
||
|
|
the file upload authentication private key.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If any of these variables changes,
|
||
|
|
you must do a "make clean; make" in the sched directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
You must modify your Apache config file
|
||
|
|
to allow execution of the scheduling server.
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
ScriptAlias /boinc-cgi/ "/users/barry/cgi/"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Directory "/users/barry/cgi/">
|
||
|
|
AllowOverride None
|
||
|
|
Options None
|
||
|
|
Order allow,deny
|
||
|
|
Allow from all
|
||
|
|
</Directory>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
