Manual page for Setting(up)
Setting up a QUISP-powered web site
This process requires that you know something about setting file permissions
and creating soft links. You need to have a cgi-bin that you can put files in.
Some items herein such as specific URLs and pathnames are installation-specific.
These kinds of things are inherently somewhat tricky... if at first you don't succeed,
etc. etc.
Test drive
After running newproject.sh make sure things are working by accessing
some demo material that is automatically installed by newproject.sh:
-
Try an SQL select command from the command line, eg:
shsql -n "select * from examp_people".
-
Try a test web page.
Fire up your web browser and enter a URL that will invoke quisp, via your cgi-bin, eg:
http://abc.com/cgi-bin/quisp
The specifics of this URL depend on your local system.
If all goes well, QUISP should load a test page.
If not, use something like this:
http://abc.com/cgi-bin/quisp?_DEBUG=1
to print out some diagnostic and environment info.
If you still can't get it to work, try your local support team or web server configuration
docs (I can't be of much help diagnosing local configuration issues from where I sit).
More test examples
-
A number of examples are available in the distribution ./qexamples directory.
You can try them now.. just copy all files from ./qexamples to the
pages directory (in the project directory you just built).
Then point your browser to:
http://abc.com/cgi-bin/quisp?rtn=index
(substitute domain name and cgi bin as appropriate for your installation).
Note: the graphic example won't work yet... it requires one additional step, below.
-
These examples can also be tried anytime from the
quisp web site on sourceforge.
Finishing touches
Do these after achieving success on the test drive.
That's it!
