<h2>Setting up a single-host server</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
BOINC provides a set of scripts for setting up
|
||||
and controlling a BOINC server complex.
|
||||
These scripts require all the server components to run on a single host.
|
||||
This has been tested only on Linux and Solaris hosts;
|
||||
it may work with small modifications on Windows also.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The scripts can be used to create multiple BOINC projects on the same host.
|
||||
This can be handy for creating separate projects for testing and debugging.
|
||||
In fact, the scripts are part of a general
|
||||
<a href=test.html>testing framework</a>
|
||||
that allows multiple developers to work independently on
|
||||
a single host, with each developer able to create multiple projects.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Install the following software on the server host:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> MySQL, version 3.23 or later
|
||||
<li> PHP, version 4.2.3 or later
|
||||
<li> Apache, linked with the PHP module
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Directory structure</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Designate a "BOINC projects" directory on the server host.
|
||||
The scripts will create subdirectories as follows:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
boinc_projects/
|
||||
proj1/
|
||||
cgi/
|
||||
download/
|
||||
html_ops/
|
||||
html_user/
|
||||
keys/
|
||||
upload/
|
||||
proj2/
|
||||
...
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
where proj1, proj2 etc. are the names of the projects you create.
|
||||
Each project directory contains:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> cgi: copies of the BOINC server programs, and a configuration file.
|
||||
<li> download: storage for data server downloads.
|
||||
<li> html_ops: copies of PHP files for project management.
|
||||
<li> html_user: copies of PHP files for the public web site.
|
||||
<li> keys: encryption keys used by the project.
|
||||
<li> upload: storage for data server uploads.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Web server configuration</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Create two directories, used to store symbolic links
|
||||
to project-specific HTML and CGI directories.
|
||||
You might call these boinc_html and boinc_cgi.
|
||||
Then edit your Apache configuration file,
|
||||
adding something like the following:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Alias /david/ "/users/david/boinc_html/"
|
||||
<Directory "/users/david/boinc_html">
|
||||
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
|
||||
AllowOverride None
|
||||
Order allow,deny
|
||||
Allow from all
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
|
||||
ScriptAlias /david_cgi/ "/users/david/boinc_cgi/"
|
||||
<Directory "/users/david/boinc_cgi">
|
||||
AllowOverride None
|
||||
Options FollowSymLinks
|
||||
Order allow,deny
|
||||
Allow from all
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Environment variabless</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Define the following environment variables:
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<table border=1 cellpadding=8>
|
||||
<tr><td>BOINC_PROJECTS_DIR</td>
|
||||
|
||||
<tr><td> BOINC_USER_NAME</td>
|
||||
<td> This is used as a component of database names,
|
||||
and is prepended to web error log entries.
|
||||
Relevant if multiple developers share one host.
|
||||
/td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td> BOINC_SRC_DIR</td>
|
||||
<td> Path of directory where BOINC source code is</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td> BOINC_CGI_DIR</td>
|
||||
<td> Path of the CGI symbolic-link directory (see above).</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td> BOINC_CGI_URL</td>
|
||||
<td> URL of the CGI symbolic-link directory.</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td> BOINC_HTML_DIR</td>
|
||||
<td> path of a HTML symbolic-link directory (see above)</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td> BOINC_HTML_URL</td>
|
||||
<td> URL of the HTML symbolic-link directory</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td> BOINC_SHMEM_KEY</td>
|
||||
<td> Identifier for shared-memory segment (use any 31-bit number
|
||||
that doesn't conflict with current segments)</td></tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For example, you might execute the following shell script:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
setenv BOINC_PROJECTS_DIR /home/david/boinc_projects
|
||||
setenv BOINC_USER_NAME david
|
||||
setenv BOINC_SRC_DIR /home/david/boinc_cvs/boinc
|
||||
setenv BOINC_CGI_DIR /home/david/cgi-bin
|
||||
setenv BOINC_CGI_URL http://localhost/cgi-bin
|
||||
setenv BOINC_HTML_DIR /home/david/html
|
||||
setenv BOINC_HTML_URL http://localhost
|
||||
setenv BOINC_SHMEM_KEY 0x3abc1234
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Creating the server</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once you've done all the above steps,
|
||||
edit the script make_project.php
|
||||
in the test directory of the BOINC source tree,
|
||||
adding your application name.
|
||||
Then execute this script.
|
||||
This does the following:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> Create the project directory and its subdirectories.
|
||||
<li> Create the project's encryption keys.
|
||||
NOTE: before making the project publicly visible,
|
||||
you must move the code-signing private key
|
||||
to a highly secure (preferably non-networked) host,
|
||||
and delete it from the server host.
|
||||
<li> Create a MySQL database for this project,
|
||||
named (BOINC_USER_NAME)_(project-name).
|
||||
<li> Insert initial records in the project, platform, user, and app tables.
|
||||
<li> Copy the server programs (cgi, feeder, file_upload_handler)
|
||||
from the source directory to the project/cgi directory.
|
||||
<li> Generate the configuration file (config.xml) used by
|
||||
the server programs.
|
||||
<li> Copy the user and administrative PHP files to the
|
||||
project directories html_user and html_ops.
|
||||
<li> Create a file "db_name" in project/html_user and project/html_ops
|
||||
so that the project web sites access the right database.
|
||||
<li> Macro-process html_user/index.html to insert the correct scheduler URL.
|
||||
<li> Create symbolic links (with the project name)
|
||||
from the main HTML and CGI directories to the project directory.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
At this point you hopefully have a functioning BOINC server,
|
||||
but it has no applications or work to distribute.
|
||||
The remaining steps to make a public project include:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> Develop, debug and test your application.
|
||||
<li> Develop back-end systems for generating work and processing results.
|
||||
<li> Using the "add" utility, add application versions to the BOINC database.
|
||||
<li> Develop your web site.
|
||||
</ul>
