csc309 apache & dhtmlx
to setup apache on cdf:
- grab the apache.tar.gz file from the Student Guide on the course site (there is also an apache.htm page which has instructions similar to these)
- extract apache.tar.gz to your home directory on cdf which creates a folder called apache
- run the apache/bin/start.sh file to start apache (and apache/bin/stop.sh to stop apache before you logout of cdf)
- when prompted use the port you have been assigned, see the CSC309-ports.txt file in the Student Guide
and voila! your personal apache server should be running, you can view it in a browser running on cdf at the address: http://localhost:[your port]/
the start.sh file you ran set up your apache environment in your home directory, not to be confused with the directories in the apache folder
so your html/css/js/xml/etc go in the htdocs folder in your home directory
also, here is the DHTMLX example page i showed in tutorial for your reference
