Filesystem Layout
Webinator is installed underneath your HTML document tree. It consists of
several subdirectories. Assuming that your HTML document root is
htdocs, this will be the structure:
htdocs/
|
webinator/
|
+-------------+------+------+-------------+
| | | |
index.html bin/ db/ .master/
search | | |
bar0.gif .htaccess .htaccess .htaccess
bar1.gif gw gw.log ...
tstonebut.gif ... ...
All of the directories that should not be referenced by web browsers
contain a .htaccess file that denies all access.
The webinator directory contains the search interface scripts,
several GIF files used by the search interfaces, and an index.html
that contains a pointer
to the search program as an example of how to start it.
The bin directory contains the gw program and any other
related utilities and readme's. The gw program may be moved to
or run from any desired directory.
The db directory contains the default HTML database. It is initially
empty. This is the database that gw and webinator will access
if none is specified. It also contains the log file maintained by gw
when working on that database. Each database will have its own log file.
The .master directory contains files that are referenced when
creating a new database.
All of the files under the webinator tree must be readable
and writable by the WEB server. Also, gw must be run as
the WEB server user or be made setuid to it by running commands
similar to the following:
chown WEBUSERNAME gw
chmod u+s gw
The above commands will have to be run as the root user on most systems.
