README

// This directory contains a system that allows
// users to submit jobs to a BOINC project.
//
// Major revisions may be required to make this work
// (and to make it secure) on your project.
// Please read and understand all the code before using it.
//
// Contributed by Dr. M.F. Somers, Leiden University
//
// BASIC INSTALL:
//
// 1) add tables to database using create_queue.sql:
//
//     mysql yourprojectdb < create_queue.sql
//
// 2) copy files into html directory of your project so
//    apache will server them:
//
//    cp inc/* ~/Classical/html/inc  (beware the user.inc might be overwritten, use diff!)
//    cp user/* ~/Classical/html/user
//    cp ops/* ~/Classical/html/ops
//
// 3) Make sure you have defined the following tags in your config.xml:
//
//    <uldl_dir_fanout> 
//    <long_name> 
//    <bin_dir>
//    <download_dir>
//    <upload_dir>
//    <project_dir>
//    <create_work_program>
//    
// 4) Make sure you have a WU and a result template in the template directory
//    for each application with the names similar to 'queue_uppercase_work_unit_template'
//    and 'queue_uppercase_result_unit_template'. These will be used to invoke 'make_work'.
//
// That shoult be it; now the queue has been setup and by default allows users to have 5
// jobslots per application. If your do not want users to be able to submit to an application
// make sure you list that app (it's ID) into the new q_restricted_apps table. The new
// q_users table can be used to allow users access to restricted apps or set different
// limits that the default 5 jobslots. The new q_list table is the list of allw WU's that
// have been submitted through the queue code...
