CrayDoc™ Installation and Administration Guide
1.2.6 Sendmail.pm and Order Form Function
CrayDoc includes an optional function that allows users to send e-mail to Cray
requesting printed copies of manuals. The Order Form function requires the
Perl
Sendmail.pm module. The Sendmail.pm module is not part of any
standard Perl distribution, and so it is included separately on the CrayDoc CD. If
you install CrayDoc with the included installation script (see Section 4.1, page
15), you will be prompted as to whether you want to leave the Order Form
function on (it is on by default). If it is turned on, the Sendmail.pm module is
automatically installed for you.
1.3 Hardware Requirements
If your computer can run Perl and Apache, it should support CrayDoc. Your
hardware needs will vary according to your environment, the number of users
you expect to access the CrayDoc server, and what other software you are
running on the computer.
1.3.1 RAM
There are two aspects of RAM use to consider when setting up your CrayDoc
system:
• Indexing the search engine
• Configuring Apache
The CrayDoc search engine can require significant memory (over 200 MB)
when indexing the manuals. See Section 6.3, page 27 for more information on
configuring the search engine.
The Apache documentation covers some aspects of improving
the performance of your Apache web server. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/perf-tuning.html
for more information.
We recommend a minimum of 96 MB of total RAM for a Stand-alone CrayDoc
installation, and 256 MB if you choose the Shared installation.
