server-side scripts used to run VaST on NMW survey images

This is very much work in progress. You may reach me at kirx[at]kirx.net

1. place the code in 'cgi-bin'

cd /var/www/scan.sai.msu.ru/cgi-bin
git clone https://github.com/kirxkirx/unmw.git

2. create the data directory

mkdir /home/NMW_web_upload

3. create a symlink (or use mount --bind if you Apache configuration does not allow symlinks) to the data directory

cd /var/www/scan.sai.msu.ru/cgi-bin/unmw
ln -s /home/NMW_web_upload uploads

4. copy the content of 'move_to_htdocs' folder to your htdocs

cp -r move_to_htdocs /var/www/scan.sai.msu.ru/htdocs/unmw

5. create a symlink (or use mount --bind) to the data directory in htdocs

cd /var/www/scan.sai.msu.ru/htdocs/unmw
ln -s /home/NMW_web_upload uploads

6. go back to the cgi directory and set the data directory path and the URL exposing it in 'local_config.sh', see the example in 'local_config.sh_example'

7. Add unmw/combine_reports.sh to cron for it to be run every few minutes. For example /etc/crontab may look like:

*/8     *       *       *       *       www-data        /dataX/cgi-bin/unmw/combine_reports.sh &> /dev/null

where www-data is the apache user, /dataX/cgi-bin/unmw/combine_reports.sh is the full path to combine_reports.sh (will be different for your system).
