Ive managed to install and get a Moses instance up and running on Ubuntu
16.04. Im at the testing point and things work as documented. Ive compiled
it via bjam with these switches: boost, xmlrpc, cmph, irstlm. Mgiza is up
and running as well. 

 

Im pretty confused about how to test the moses as a service (maas) component
though. This link does not provide much clarity.
http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Advanced.Moses

 

"This can be launched using the same command-line arguments as moses, with
two additional arguments to specify the listening port and log-file
(--server-port and --server-log). These default to 8080 and /dev/null
respectively."

 

Would it be possible to get a full command line example please? Or something
that illustrates/confirms that the "as a service" component runs/works. I
tried this, but Im sure Im not getting something. 

mosesdecoder/bin/moses -f phrase-model/moses.ini < phrase-model/in > out
--server-port 8080  --server-log /dev/null

 

I haven't tried the perl client script yet. Id eventually like to invoke
maas via a web service, which I can build pretty easily on the Windows side.


 

On a side note: Id like to contribute if possible. Im pretty decent and
verbose when it comes to documenting stuff, but am not a Linux expert. If
someone is willing to review my stuff I could send some docs. So far, Ive
just documented stuff for Ubuntu 16.04. The challenge for me was
understanding where things are supposed to go (ie root folders for
installations, etc.)

 

Any clarifications would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks
