Demo Quickie Install

If you want to see CGI2SAS in action... Production systems should be configured with a little more care... ;-)

  1. Unpack/Unzip install package into a temporary directory
  2. Edit "./config/install.conf" and edit the parameters as needed
  3. Change directory to "./bin"
  4. Run "install_cgi2sas.py" to install and configure the demo system

    On windows double click on "install_cgi2sas.py"

    Note: The Install directory must not exist

  5. Edit your apache "httpd.conf" to enable the demo system. This is my httpd conf. Make sure you backup your httpd.conf first 

    
	 <VirtualHost *>
	    ServerName cgi2sas
	     DocumentRoot p:/cgi2sas/demo/htdocs
	     ScriptAlias /c2s-tst/ "p:/cgi2sas/demo/cgi-bin/"
	     <Directory "p:/cgi2sas/demo/cgi-bin">
	        AllowOverride None
	        Options None
	        Order allow,deny
	        Allow from all
	    </Directory>
	     ScriptAlias /c2s-bin/ "p:/cgi2sas/bin/"
	     <Directory "p:/cgi2sas/bin/">
	        AllowOverride None
	        Options None
	        Order allow,deny
	        Allow from all
	    </Directory>
	 </VirtualHost>
    Note on Windows dont forget to update your /winnt/system32/drivers/etc/hosts with

    127.0.0.1 cgi2sas

    or if you prefer... 

    
	 Alias /cgi2sas/ "p:/cgi2sas/demo/htdocs/"
	<Directory "p:/cgi2sas/demo/htdocs/"
	    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks Multiviews
	    AllowOverride None
	    Order allow, deny
	    Allow from all
	</Directory>

	 ScriptAlias /c2s-tst/ "p:/cgi2sas/demo/cgi-bin/"
	<Directory "p:/cgi2sas/demo/cgi-bin">
	    AllowOverride None
	    Options None
	    Order allow,deny
	    Allow from all
	</Directory>

	 ScriptAlias /c2s-bin/ "p:/cgi2sas/bin/"
	<Directory "p:/cgi2sas/bin/">
	    AllowOverride None
	    Options None
	    Order allow,deny
	    Allow from all
	</Directory>

  6. Then run start the CGI2SAS Load Manager and Log Viewer
    
./bin/logview.bat
./bin/cgi2sas_mgr.bat

    or....

    If you want to run CGI2SAS as a service on windows then first install the services
    
./bin/win32_cgi2sas_mgr_install.bat
./bin/win32_logview_install.bat

  7. Truck over to "services" and start each service. Fire up your fav web browser. Run index.html..... Best viewed using mozilla ;-)

    run the "proc options log" or "list vars" programs

    view http://localhost:8000 to access the log viewer.

  8. If you are upgrading from a previous version of cgi2sas.

    in the old version.... stop the cgi2sas services goto the ./bin directory run the win32_*_remove.bat files.

    then rename your old cgi2sas directory to something different

    install cgi2sas and then copy your config files from ./config from the old version to the new version.

    Have Fun!!!!

    Problems with the demo

    The code previews dont render correctly in IE 5 (unknown for other versions). Mozilla and lynx work fine. When displaying code previews, rather than embed the code in HTML I just send the text file to the browser with Context Type : text/plain.
