Installing the package
To install this package, just unzip it somewhere in your Web server tree structure.
If you want to be able to save configurations on the Web server from the Java applet, you
must put the content of the bin folder somewhere so that they can be executed as cgi-bin.
In this folder you will find the three following scripts which are given as examples:
- Rv_add is a csh script used to add a new configuration to the configuration list. In
this script, the path to the configuration list is set to
../SYNOPTICS/DESC/ConfigList.txt. You may have to change it.
- RV_save is a perl script used to save a configuration file on the server. You may also
have to change the path to the files.
- RV_set is a csh script used to modify, from the applet, the content of the file
Values.txt. It is relevant only if you use the HTTP based protocol to read and write the
variables' values. You may have to change the path to the file Values.txt. This script
also uses the cgiparse program.
You may also have to change the path to those scripts in the HTML files given as
examples (test_http.html, etc.). In these files, the scripts are assumed to be in
/cgi-bin.
