CrayDoc™ Installation and Administration Guide
3.1 Apache in Stand-alone Mode
Usually, you must be logged in as the root user to configure Apache, though
your particular installation may vary.
First, make sure the Apache httpd daemon is not running:
prompt> killall httpd
Second, edit your Apache httpd.conf configuration file, paying particular
attention to the five settings listed at the beginning of this chapter. The
httpd.conf file is well commented; refer to it and the Apache documentation
for more details.
Third, close and save your httpd.conf file and then start the httpd daemon
to test your changes:
prompt> httpd
If you get any errors when starting your httpd daemon, go back and check
your httpd.conf file.
You should now be ready to install the CrayDoc server. See Section 4.1, page 15.
3.2 Apache in Shared Mode
If you choose to install CrayDoc on a system with a pre-existing Apache
installation, you will need to consult with your local Apache administrator about
the best way to install CrayDoc. Because we cannot anticipate your particular
Apache configuration, you should read the Stand-alone mode (Section 3.1, page
12), Permissions (Section 2.3.2, page 9), and Manual Installation (Section 4.2,
page 16) sections thoroughly before attempting a Shared-mode installation.
Once installed, CrayDoc in Shared mode works the same way as in Stand-alone
mode, but you must understand how your existing Apache system is configured
in order to install CrayDoc.
You have two basic options in Shared mode: install CrayDoc under a user’s
account or in a subdirectory under the main Apache DocumentRoot.You
may also consider using a VirtualHost directive in Apache in conjunction
with either of the above two options. See the Apache documentation for pros
and cons of each scenario.
Because of the infinite possible Apache configurations, this document does not
provide examples for every possible scenario. The install script will attempt to
