Installation notes

We already built everything to use webflow on Sun Solaris platform.
You only need the following little  changes. If you want to install 
on different platform , you should download apache server
and its servlet patch from  here  and just
build apache server executable with servlet patch. Then replace
apache executable(APACHE_HOME/apache_servlet_httpd) for 
Sun Solaris with this new one. But you can use same configuration  
files we are providing.


0)-  Chose one directory for installing apache server,let's call 
     this directory as APACHE_HOME.Change directory to APACHE_HOME.
     Place apache_servlet.tar.gz into APACHE_HOME

1)-  gunzip & tar xf apache_servlet.tar.gz in APACHE_HOME directory

2)-  cd "APACHE_HOME/apache/conf"

3)-  Do the following replacements for all *.conf files in this directory:
     replace "/sunhpc/globus/apache" with
	     "APACHE_HOME/apache"
     replace "osprey4.npac.syr.edu" with
	     host machine you are working on.

4)-  Do other apache-server related parameters in *.config files(such as,
	 ServerAdmin,Port etc.) if you want. This is optional.


5)-  change directory to "APACHE_HOME/apache/htdocs/0.0.5" and 
     edit "modules.txt"
     and replace "osprey4.npac.syr.edu:1598" strings with 
     "your_host_name:your_server_port" where "your_host_name" is same as 
     "ServerName" in "servlet-httpd.conf" in "APACHE_HOME/conf" directory
     and "your_server_port" is same as "Port" in same directory.
     
6)-  change directory to "APACHE_HOME/apache/htdocs/0.0.5/doc" and 
     edit "top.html"  file and do same operation in step (5) 
     for this file(replace "osprey4.npac.syr.edu:1598" string 
     with corresponding one,  as explained in step (5) ).

7)-  goto again "APACHE_HOME/apache" and run this 
     "./apache_servlet_httpd -f APACHE_HOME/apache/conf/servlet-httpd.conf

8)-  Your server is running now. goto
     "your_host_name:your_server_port/webflow/" WWW address using 
     netscape communicator with jdk1.1 patch and run minimal webflow demo.
