Hello,
perhaps a stupid question but how we want to organise the tools from
developers on cassini?
I have no idea, ideally however it's done on the rest of the
toolservers probably.
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?
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.
Alternative we should support projects with more than
one developer like
we do on stable server, but it should be as
simple as possible.
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:)
So what is the plan?
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.
