Using a web server |
X-Tract can be run by a web server to provide on-line script operation. We recommend that you set up your web server so that all '.xst' files are handled automatically by X-Tract. The following instructions assume that you have appropriate administrator privileges. |
||
Installing X-Tract |
Copy the X-Tract executables ('xtract.exe' and its '.dll' files) to your 'cgi-bin' directory (typically 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin'). |
||
Editing the configuration file |
You must edit one of the Apache configuration files to add a 'handler' for '.xst' files. Add these lines to the file C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf;
|
||
Re-starting Apache |
In Windows NT, you will be able to re-start Apache using the 'Services' icon in the control panel. If you are using Windows 95, Apache will have its own DOS window if it is running. Close it down and run Apache again from the program menu. |
||
Testing |
Copy the 'webstart.xst' file to Apache's html directory (usually 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\html') and point your browser at it (the location should be something like 'hostname/webstart.xst'). The browser should display the same output as X-Tract would have done running the same file from the command line. |
