[Isis-users] ABCD en un server real

 Thanks Egbert!

I really understand the principle of putting an application into a server, but in case of ABCD, it  have been difficult for me. This, perhaps for its structure.

But, if exist a tutorial (including images), it will be easier for those who do not know for where to begin.  I like some of you do a tuto, clearly explaining the way of doing it.

Thanks for the explanations.

Asunto: Re: [Isis-users] ABCD en un server real
 
This issue has been discussed a few times before.
The general idea is that when installing ABCD on a 'real' server (meaning mostly : a 'dedicated' server for web-applications), it behaves very much like any other web-application running under a CGI-capable web-server (e.g. Apache but also IIS).
But mostly in such cases the administrator of the server will decide on how to install it and probably do it him/herself, depending on local conditions of already installed server-configurations and other applications. Mostly administrators of servers will not accept you to tell them where and how to install the ABCD-system - which for that reason is quite flexible in installation requirements.
That is why it is difficult to give exact instructions which work for all such local conditions.

Generally there are 2 parameters to decide on : DocumentRoot and ScriptAlias. I am using the Apache vocabulary here but it is simliar in IIS, e.g. 'virtual folder' is used in IIS to allow defining folders outside the proper IIS-subfolders to be accessed by applications.
The ABCD htdocs-folder is the one to become 'DocumentRoot' and the www/cgi-bin folder (with subfolders in the near future) will be the ScriptAlias where executables are allowed to run. So these are the two paths to note down and pass on to the server administrator. In principle they can be anywhere in the file-system but on a server won't be as the default configuration on a Windows personal computer : C:\ABCD\www. In Linux e.g. they could be in the folder /var/www/ABCD or /opt/ABCD.

A quite practical way of doing things is the idea of 'virtual hosts' : you put a specific configuration file for ABCD (defining DocumentRoot and ScriptAlias) inside a subfolder of the configuration folder and tell the system to read all those files as part of the configuration by 'including' the folder itself.
Each of the files there identify the virtual folder by name or by port.

If so desired we could provide sample such configuration files, but always taking into account the chosen paths would have to be changed according to local conditions and policy of the server administrator.

very interesting question so I used google translate to read Luis' message.

I would be interested in the answers as well

Thanks

Veo que con mucha frecuencia que se pide ayuda sobre la configuración del ABCD en un servidor real.
Por favor, alquien pudiera mandar un tutorial de como lo ha hecho en su institución.

Seria bueno disponer de un manual con capturas de imágenes, de los procedimientos para configurar ABCD en un servidor real.

Por ejemplo en mi institucion utilizan Internet Information Service, diseñado especialmente para ASP, a mi me gustaría tener algunas instrucciones.

Pido esto por la colectividad que necesita montar ABCD en el server de su institucion, ya que ABCD viene listo para funcionar una PC local.

Alguien se anima, por favor?
