1 Notes
1.1 What is Pymweb?
Pymweb is a web interface for running Pymerase1 on the web.
1.2 What are the requirements for using Pymweb?
- Apache Web Server - http://www.apache.org/
- Python2.2 - http://www.python.org/
- Pymerase - http://pymerase.sf.net/
2 Installation
2.1 Download Pymweb
Pymweb, currently, is only accessable via CVS on
sourceforge.net. Pymweb is found under the 'pymerase' CVS
module in director called 'pymweb'. Please visit the download section
of http://pymerase.sf.netfor more information on checking out CVS modules.
2.2 Edit Pymweb Apache Settings
You will need to edit pymweb/conf/pymweb.conf so that Apache will know
who to give access to Pymweb. The default settings will limit access
to the machine in which it's running. If you wish to change the access
settings, below are some examples you can use.
2.2.1 Default Settings
Alias /pymweb /tmp/pymweb
<Location /pymweb>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
Options Indexes MultiViews
</Location>
2.2.2 Limit to localhost and specific subnet
Alias /pymweb /tmp/pymweb
<Location /pymweb>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
allow from 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
Options Indexes MultiViews
</Location>
2.2.3 Allow from all
Alias /pymweb /tmp/pymweb
<Location /pymweb>
order deny,allow
allow from all
Options Indexes MultiViews
</Location>
2.3 Install
To install Pymweb, especially with the default settings, you will have
to be running as root. Below is the command you would type to install
on a Debian system.
python2.2 setup.py install
Other flavors of linux will probably work as well, but you may want to
double check the default installation paths. The default install paths
are as follows:
#Default (Debian) CGI installation path
CGI_PATH = '/usr/lib/cgi-bin/'
#Default (Debian) Apache WWW path
WWW_PATH = '/var/www/'
#Default (Debian) Apache Conf path
CONF_PATH = '/etc/apache/conf/'
To override any of these paths, you can type the following command:
python2.2 setup.py --cgiPath=/path/to/cgi/ --wwwPath=/path/to/www/ \
--confPath=/path/to/conf/ install
2.4 More Apache Configuration
You will need to add the following line to the end of your Apache
httpd.conf file located at /etc/apache/httpd.conf on Debian systems.
Include /etc/apache/conf/pymweb.conf
Once you have made the change, you will need to restart apache. You
can do so by running the following command on a Debian system:
/etc/init.d/apache restart
3 Running Pymweb
3.1 Web Browser
Once you have Pymweb installed, just point your web browser to the
machine in which you installed it on. In the case you installed it on
your local machine, you would type http://localhost/pymweb.html to
access the Pymweb form.
3.2 Debuging
Pymweb, as of version 0.1.15, displays debugging information in the
web browser, which should make debugging much easier.
Note, that you can always goto '/tmp/pymweb/@sessionNumber/' and
check on the files located in that directory. You may also wish to
look at the Apache error logs located at '/var/log/apache/error.log'.
Please e-mail pymerase-devel at lists.sourceforge.net if you have and
questions or need help debuging.
