Can anyone assist with the webget python script instell on a raq4?
INSTALLING Webget depends on Python. It can be obtained from <URI:http://www.python.org/>. This README assumes Python is installed and working on your system. “Python is installed /usr/bin/python” * Place the file backend.py at a place where it can be called by the system's cron. "Not sure where to place this file?" * Place the file frontend.py in a directory where it can be accessed remotely as a CGI-script. "frontend.py edited to point to /usr/bin/python and extension changed to cgi chmod to 0755 and permission as admin placed in site1\web\cgi-bin" * Place the file core.py at a place where it can be read by the uid(s) who will run backend.py and frontend.py "again where should this be placed" * Configure your webserver to see frontend.py as a CGI-script (with Apache you would place ``AddHandler cgi-script py'' in your .htaccess) "This is not required as I named em cgi? I hope" * Setup your system's cron to run backend.py at a regular interval "again another blank look on my face" * Change the globals in the top of backend.py and frontend.py, and pay special attention to the value passed to sys.path.append() (this value should be the directory where core.py is). * Both backend.py and the frontend.py will try to create webget.db if it doesn't exist. Make sure they are able to do that. NOTE: Webget does not have any form of password authentication. If you wish to shield Webget, use your webserver's authentication services. Suggested setup: * Create a user (i.e. webget) * Put all files (e.g. *.py, webget.db, ...) in some subdir of the homedir of that user (i.e. /home/webget/public_html/). * Login as that user and use ``crontab -e'' to edit that user's crontab * Use Apache's suEXEC (or similar) to make it run frontend.py as that user Sorry to be a pain in the a*% but you gota learn some where. Unfortuantly wasted my life till now on m$oft :( Thanks in advance Nigel _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
