CrayDoc™ Installation and Administration Guide
to decide where on your file system you put the CrayDoc installation. We
recommend only that you verify that you will have enough space on your file
system to accommodate the Cray documentation (see Section 1.3.2, page 5).
Verify that your Apache web server is running by pointing a web browser at your
CrayDoc server. If you are using a web browser running on the CrayDoc server
machine, you should be able to point your browser at:
http://localhost/
and you should see the Apache test page (or whatever home page you may
have replaced it with). If you are using a web browser running on a machine
other than the CrayDoc server, you should be able to point your browser at
the host name of your CrayDoc server. For example, if your CrayDoc server’s
host name is craydocserv, you should be able to see the Apache test page at
http://craydocserv/. If you cannot see the Apache test page, you probably
have a problem with your Apache installation. Verify that the httpd daemon is
running by logging in to the CrayDoc server and typing:
ps -ef | grep httpd
See the Apache documentation for more troubleshooting help.
When you have successfully installed Apache, you can configure it for use with
Stand-alone mode (Section 3.1, page 12).
2.2 Shared Mode
Shared mode is the most flexible installation option because it allows your
CrayDoc installation to coexist peacefully with other users of the Apache web
server. However, Shared mode requires a more intimate understanding of
Apache configuration. See Section 3.2, page 12 for more details.
2.3 Security Issues
Security issues also are important to consider when deciding whether you install
in Stand-alone or Shared mode. Stand-alone mode offers more security but
requires that CrayDoc be the main use of the Apache web server. Shared mode
offers more flexibility but requires coordinated effort between the Apache and
CrayDoc administrators and careful attention to file system permissions. A
thorough understanding of file system permissions is essential for installing
CrayDoc successfully in Shared mode.
