Yes, it is possible to install ABCD in an existing Apache/PHP webserver.
The main points to consider - as always in web-applications - are :
- DocumentRoot : this is defined in httpd.conf (or apache2.conf) in the conf-folder of the running Apache. This should refer to the htdocs folder of your ABCD-installation, e.g. \abcd\www\htdocs (in Windows) or /var/www/ABCD/www/htdocs (in Linux)
- ScriptAlias : this is also defined in the same Apache-configuration file. It should refer to the cgi-bin folder of your ABCD-installation, e.g. \abcd\www\cgi-bin (in Windows) or /var/www/ABCD/www/cgi-bin (in Linux).
ABCD can run with the default port 80 (if the parameter 'Listen' is set to 80 in the Apache-configuration file) or with any other available port (we use 9090 mostly) for which the Listen variable then should be changed.

It will be more complicated when you want or need to set up ABCD in a virtual host with separate port 9090. This will be necessary in case the server runs other applications too in addition to ABCD, which is most likely. Here you have to ask assistance of a network-manager who knows about this subject, or start reading the freely available manuals/instructions on virtual hosts.
In such case you will need to create separate configuration files for each virtual host, ABCD being one of them, in which you define at least these two parameters as well as the ports to listen to and the properties for the two defined folders (or directories).
An example of such a virtual host, which only uses port 9090, file could be essentially (without considering possible additional variables set) :

NameVirtualHost *:9090
<VirtualHost *:9090>
    DocumentRoot "/ABCD/www/htdocs"
<Directory "/ABCD/www/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
    ScriptAlias cgi-bin "/ABCD/www/cgi-bin" 
<Directory "/ABCD/www/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

In Linux it is preferred to put these files in a folder sites-available with symbolic links to the folder sites-enabled. By simply including the folder sites-enabled in the main Apache2.conf file, your apache will know the virtual hosts.

A more detailed document explaining installation of ABCD with e.g. WAMP (which is a combination of Apache with PHP) is attached. I am looking for volunteers to translate into other languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese).

As for your 2nd question : is it possible to install ABCD via web : yes, (almost) everything is possible via WWW, but you will need to edit text-files, e.g. config.php, so you need access not only to put files (normally via FTP or SCP) but also to edit them, for which normally shell-access (ssh or telnet) is required.

Olá,
Alguem sabe como proceder para instalar o ABCD num servidor que já tem o apache e php? Ou seja a possibilidade de fazer a instalação via web?

Cordialmente,
Abel


Hi,
It's possible to install ABCD via web?

Thanks,
Abel

Hola a todos:
He tratado de arreglar  una base de datos isis que tiene muchos registros con espacios en blanco al final o al inicio, para lo cual he seguido el siguiente procedimiento:
1)  previamente incluí el mxcp.exe en la carpeta de la base
2) la sintaxis que usé fue:
mxcp cds newcds clean
Me tira el siguiente error:



dbxopen: 'michi.xrf' errno=2

fatal: dbxopen/open

Alguien puede orientarme para solucionar el problema?
Gracias, MMM

Dear members of the list:
I tried to fix an isis database which contains several records with blanks at the beginning or at the end of the fields.
I applied the following methodology:
1) I included mxcp.exe in the database directory
2) the sintaxis I've used is
mxcp cds newcds claen
The output was the following:

dbxopen: 'michi.xrf' errno=2

fatal: dbxopen/open

Can anybody help me?
Regards, MMM
