README: AOLserver This is the AOLserver 4.0.0 source distribution. AOLserver is available at https://aolserver.com, a SourceForge hosted site. RCS: @(#) $Id: README,v 1.4 2003/01/24 18:49:23 elizthom Exp $ Contents -------- 1. Introduction 2. Documentation 3. Compiling and installing AOLserver 4. Mailing lists 5. Thank You 1. Introduction --------------- AOLserver is a multithread web server with flexible and extensible C and Tcl API's. AOLserver is used for several high traffic, dynamic web applications and services at America Online among other sites. AOLserver is maintained, enhanced, and distributed freely by the AOLserver community. The home for AOLserver sources and bug/patch database is on SourceForge available at: https://aolserver.com/ AOLserver is a freely available open source package. See the file "license.terms" for complete information. 2. Documentation ---------------- Documentation is available in the "doc" subdirectory of this release. It contains of Unix-style reference manual entries for AOLserver. Files with extension ".1" are for programs (for example, nsd.1); files with extension ".3" are for C library procedures; and files with extension ".n" describe Tcl commands. The file "doc/nsd.1" gives a quick summary of the AOLserver configuration. To view any of the man pages on Unix, cd to the "doc" directory and invoke your favorite variant of troff using the normal -man macros, for example: groff -Tascii -man nsd.1 | more Conversion to HTML may be possible with: groff -Thtml -man nsd.1 > nsd.html If AOLserver has been installed correctly and your "man" program supports it, you should be able to access the AOLserver manual entries using the normal "man" mechanisms, such as man -M /usr/local/aolserver/man nsd 3. Compiling and installing AOLserver ------------------------------------- AOLserver is known to compile and run on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS/X 10.2. Ports to other modern platforms such as HP/UX should be easy. To compile and install AOLserver: 3a. Download, configure, build and install Tcl 8.4 or better with threads and shared libraries enabled. To do so, download the latest release from https://tcl.tk and following the instructions in the included README. You may install Tcl within the directory you intend to install AOLserver (e.g., /usr/local/aolserver) or in some other location. The following should work: % gunzip < tcl8.4.0-src.tar.gz | tar xvf - % cd tcl8.4.0/unix % ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --enable-threads % make install 3b. If you don't have GNU make (Linux make is GNU make), install it as AOLserver's makefiles require it. If you're not sure if you have GNU make, try "make -v" to check. You can get GNU make at https://www.gnu.org. 3c. Download, configure, build, and install AOLserver. The following should work: % gunzip < aolserver-4.0.0.src.tar.gz | tar xvf - % cd aolserver-4.0.0 % ./configure % make install AOLserver's configure script takes the following options: --with-tcl=/usr/local/aolserver/lib Path to library installation directory of Tcl where configure can find the tclConfig.sh script. Without this option, configure will search around for tclConfig.sh, perhaps finding it in ../tcl8.4.0/unix. --enable-symbols Compile with debug symbols enabled. The default is to compile optimized. --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver Set the installation directory for AOLserver. All program, man page, and runtime files (e.g., log files) will be install or updated within this directory. To make AOLserver with purify, set the variable $PURIFY to your purify executable along with any options you desire, e.g., make PURIFY="purify -cache-dir=/home/joe/my-cache-dir" install 3d. Create and edit a config file, nsd.tcl by convention. A sample is provided to get started: % cd /usr/local/aolserver % cp sample-config.tcl nsd.tcl % vi nsd.tcl 3e. Try running the server in a shell window: % cd /usr/local/aolserver % bin/nsd -ft nsd.tcl More information on configuration and running AOLserver can be found within the sample-config.tcl script and the AOLserver.n man page. 4. Mailing lists ---------------- There is a mailing list for AOLserver to discuss anything from configuration, development, and future direction. To join visit: https://aolserver.com/ 5. Thank You ------------- Thank you for your interest in AOLserver! We hope you find it useful and look forward to hearing from you on our mailing list.
