Note: This documentation is for an old version of Webinator. The latest documentaion is here.

Filesystem Layout

Webinator is installed underneath /usr/local/morph3 on Unix or C:\Program Files\Thunderstone Software\Webinator on Windows by default. It consists of several subdirectories.

This will be the structure on Unix (not all files are listed here):

Install Directory
   Readme.txt
   license.key
   texis.cnf.sample
   .htaccess
   webinator/
      newindex.html
      dowalk
      search
      webinator5man.pdf
      swdrmlog.gif
   bin/
      texis
      monitor
      anytotx
      gw
   texis/
      monitor.log
      scripts/
         errorscript
         webinator/
            dowalk
            search
      vortex.log
      testdb/
      default/
         db1/
         db2/
HTML Directory
   webinator/
      index.html
      webinator5man.pdf
      swdrmlog.gif
CGI Directory
   texis

Note 1: The files under webinator are also installed into the texis/scripts/webinator directory, which is the live version. In previous (version 4) releases these were copied to your document root. newindex.html will be named index.html if an old copy was not already present.

The webinator directory contains the search interface scripts, several GIF files used by the search interfaces, and an index.html that contains a hyperlink to the administrative interface, as well as the online documentation.

All of the directories that should not be referenced by web browsers contain a .htaccess file that denies all access in the event that you choose to install under your web server's document tree. If you installed under your document root and your web server does not respect .htaccess style protection you should block web access to those directories by whatever means your web server provides.

This will be the structure on Windows (not all files are listed here):

Install Directory
   license.key
   texis.cnf.sample
   texis.exe
   monitor.exe
   anytotx.exe
   gw.exe
   texis\
      monitor.log
      scripts/
         errorscript
         webinator/
            dowalk
            search
      vortex.log
      testdb\
      default\
         db1\
         db2\
HTML Directory
   webinator\
      default.htm
      webinator5man.pdf
      swdrmlog.gif
CGI Directory
   texis.exe

The bin or Install directory contains the texis program and other related utility programs. The gw program from version 2.5 Webinator is included in this release. It may go away in future releases. It will work with existing Webinator 2.5 databases. Note: gw will not work with Webinator 4 or later databases.

The texis directory contains the databases and Texis log files.
