Infosearch with Local Web Server Setup

Under my Web server's `DocumentRoot' directory, I created a directory `infosearch'. Under this directory I created 2 symbolic links (these did not match what was stated on the URL that was posted on this subject in the info-iris-*/comp.sys.sgi.* email/news group, so I picked what looked right):

	C -> /usr/lib/infosearch/C/

In my `cgi-bin' directory, I created another sybolic link:

	infosrch.cgi -> /usr/lib/infosearch/bin/infosrch.cgi

IRIX 6.5.17 UPDATE

After installing IRIX 6.5.17, things changed. Here are some corrections.

For 6.5.17

	index.shtml -> /usr/lib/infosearch/common/index.html
	images -> /usr/lib/infosearch/common/images

Under the `DocumentRoot', add a symbolic link:

	library -> /usr/share/Insight/library

That seems to be all the changes necessary for 6.5.17, that I've found so far.

For pre-IRIX 6.5.17 (Known to work for 6.5.11)

	index.shtml -> /usr/lib/infosearch/C/index.shtml

In my Web server configuration file, I've got the following:

   Alias /ebt-icons/ "/usr/lib/Insight/dweb/icons/"

   ScriptAlias /ebt-bin/ "/usr/lib/Insight/dweb/cgi-bin/"
   #
   # InfoSearch interface to InSight
   #
   <Directory "/usr/lib/Insight/dweb/cgi-bin">
      AllowOverride None
      Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      <Files infosrch.cgi>
         Order deny,allow
         Deny from all
         Allow from .vigyan.com
      </Files>
   </Directory>

I also had to correct a bug in the following file:

	/usr/lib/Insight/dweb/cgi-bin/nph-infosrch

There is a check to see if `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' is already set. If it is, then it adds other directories to check before what was already set. The only problem is that it forgets to add in `/usr/lib/internal' which is listed on the next line if `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' is not set.

I think that is everything. I hope this is of some help.
