Introduction [1]
The CrayDoc software suite is a collection of open-source software components
that allow easy searching and viewing of Cray documentation from a web
browser.
This document guides the system administrator through the installation
and maintenance of CrayDoc. This document assumes you have a good
understanding of file system permissions and basic system administration skills.
This document does not attempt to cover the installation and configuration of
Apache or Perl, because these packages are well documented on their own. Refer
to the documentation that accompanies each distribution.
1.1 Compatibility
CrayDoc should run under any operating system based on UNIX or Linux and
has been tested on the following systems:
• Linux 2.2
• Linux 2.4
• Solaris 8
• IRIX 6.5.x
The look and feel of the CrayDoc Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) user
interface was designed with Netscape in mind, but it should display with any
web browser, including Lynx. Both frames and non-frames versions are included.
Note: On many browsers other than Netscape, you should remember to hold
the SHIFT key to select multiple entries on scrolling lists.
Red Hat Linux releases 6.2 and later include all the required software as part of
a standard installation. We cannot emphasize enough how easy it is to use
CrayDoc with a standard Red Hat Linux system. CrayDoc 2.0 was developed on
a Red Hat Linux 7.2 system. Many other recent Linux distributions come with all
of the required packages; be sure to check the version numbers of your Apache
and Perl installations against the requirements in Section 1.2, page 2.
