Hello, perhaps a stupid question but how we want to organise the tools from developers on cassini?
If I understand it right we have the same home-directory than in the rest of the cluster. So if I have a tool in my home/public_html it should run on http://cassini.toolserver.org/~kolossos/... But this doesn't work in the moment. I tested it with my existing scripts. So where should a developer save the scripts? Alternative we should support projects with more than one developer like we do on stable server, but it should be as simple as possible.
So what is the plan?
Greetings Kolossos

I have no idea, ideally however it's done on the rest of the toolservers probably.

I'd installed apache but the userdir module wasn't available. I enabled it so that url works now.
It might need further configuration of course to allow users to execute CGI scripts and so, which hasn't been set up yet.

This was brought up on #ts-admins and apparently some deficiencies of the Linux security model might make this harder than on Solaris, but I don't know:)

There isn't one yet it would seem.
And really, this server needs a better administrator than me. I'm only doing it because I needed it to develop the SlippyMap extension & related infrastructure and it seemed like nobody else could be found to do it. But I'm not familiar enough with how to set such a box up properly nor do I really have the interest since system administering isn't a project I like doing in my spare time.
I'll do my best to try to make it usable in the meantime though.

Oh well, it wasn't set up to serve PHP so it was serving the raw script source, including potentially passwords embedded in said source.
So I disabled it.
I'll see if I have time to get it up properly, which should just involve copy-pasting the existing toolserver configuration that works.
