|
To use CoW, you will need to install a copy of the GNU Pth threading
library and patch it to include the pth_msgport_push() function. A
patch is provided in the file pthcow.diff in this distribution.
Future releases will probably include a stripped down copy of Pth
so that this step is not required.
|
CoW uses a slightly modified version of GNU Pth as its threading
library. A stripped down copy of Pth is included in the CoW
distribution and will be statically linked into the final
executable; it is no longer necessary to install and patch a
separate copy of Pth.

Installation steps:
|
Installation steps:
|
* apply pthcow.diff to your GNU Pth source
* build and install Pth
|
|
* ./configure
* make
|
* ./configure
* make
|
| |
* make install
* edit /etc/cow.conf
The following command line switches are recognized by CoW:
-c <cfgfile>
Specifies the name and location of the CoW configuration
file. By default, CoW will search for a configuration file
at /etc/cow.conf, /usr/local/etc/cow.conf, and finally at
./cow.conf.
-r <serverroot>
Specifies the base document directory from which files
will be served. If this switch is present, it will override
the value of ServerRoot in the configuration file. If this
switch is not present and ServerRoot is not set in the config
file, the current directory will be the server root.
-p <serverport>
Specifies what TCP port the server should run on. This switch
overrides the ServerPort setting in the configuration file.
If this switch is not present and no value is set for
ServerPort in the configuration file, 8080 will be used.
-v
This switch enables some extra console output during startup.
You probably won't need to use this unless your trying to
debug CoW.

Note:
CoW is still in alpha, so there are probably bugs. If you have any
questions, don't hesitate to send an email to roper@cs.ucdavis.edu.
