<h2>Setting up a web site</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>

|
|
|
|
|
<h3>The master URL</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each project is publicly identified by a <b>master URL</b>.
|
|
The <b>master page</b> at this URL has two functions.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> It is the home page of the project; when viewed in a browser it
|
|
describes the project and contains links for registering and for
|
|
downloading the core client.
|
|
<li> It contains XML elements of the form <pre>
|
|
<scheduler>http://host.domain.edu/cgi/scheduler<scheduler>
|
|
<scheduler>http://host2.domain.edu/cgi/scheduler<scheduler>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
that give the URLs of the project's scheduling servers.
|
|
These tags can be embedded within HTML comments.
|
|
The BOINC core client reads
|
|
and parses the master page to locate scheduling servers.
|
|
If at any point it is unable to
|
|
connect to any scheduling server for a project,
|
|
it rereads the master page.
|
|
This mechanism lets a project change the locations of its scheduling
|
|
servers, or add new servers.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Database name</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The web directories html_user/ there is a file called db_name containing the
|
|
name of the database for that project.
|
|
Each BOINC project will have a different database name.
|
|
This allows for access to different databases through the webpages of projects.
