mount_server
alias is ms

The mount_server command mounts the CERN WWW server. The
dpi.inpe.br/banon/1996/11.20.18.56 repository must be previously
installed (this repository contains the CERN WWW server httpd 3.0).

WHEN TO USE the mount_server command?

When you want your local collection be part of the World Wide Web
and to have the full library service facilities.

HOW TO USE the mount_server command?

Go to the following directory:

col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/08.08.00.00/not_sent/library_service

(
for example if the current directory is the one in which you have
installed the initial collection (e.g. URLib), just execute the line

cd col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/08.08.00.00/not_sent/library_service
)

then execute the line

mount_server

Example:

mount_server 

OBS:

To unmount the server just execute the line

mount_server -u

OBSERVATION 1

Each host can run httpd from only one local collection. For other local
collection the dpi.inpe.br/banon/1996/11.20.18.56 repository must be a
link (see ir).

OBSERVATION 2

To have the server automatically mounted at boot time, install the
following script as it is explained in the comment part:

#!/sbin/sh
#

#
# Start the web server(s) for the URLib site(s).
#
# This file should be placed under the /etc/rc2.d directory
# (or similar) and named, for example: S98URLibServer
#
# IMPORTANT: Root must be of the same group as the group of users
# responsible to maintain the URLib local collection.
#
# Please, update the first part of the absolute path below according
# to your installation. The second part beginning with col, must remain
# the same.
#

cd /home/analucia/URLib/col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/08.08.00.00/not_sent/library_service
./ms

# end of the script

If root cannot be of the same group as the group of users
responsible to maintain the URLib local collection use instead
the following two scripts:

#!/sbin/sh
#

#
# Start the web server(s) for the URLib site(s).
#
# This file should be placed under the /etc/init.d directory
# (or similar) and named, for example: URLibServer
#
# Please, update the first part of the absolute path below according
# to your installation. The second part beginning with col, must remain
# the same.
#

cd /home/analucia/URLib/col/dpi.inpe.br/banon/1995/08.08.00.00/not_sent/library_service
./ms

# end of the script1

#!/sbin/sh
#

#
# Start the web server(s) for the URLib site(s).
#
# This file should be placed under the /etc/rc2.d directory
# (or similar) and named, for example: S98URLibServer
#
# Please, update the user name (here banon) in the su command according
# to your installation.
#

echo
echo "Starting URLib server as user banon ..."
echo
su banon -c "/etc/init.d/URLibServer"

# end of the script2
