You mean like an /etc/rc.d/init.d/webkit script that would work
with RedHat (and similar systems)? That would be cool (so would
auto-restart functionality).
However, I finally got webkit started; perhaps a small addition to
the install guide is in order. I originally unpacked the webware
tarball under /usr/local/webware but that didn't work. It might be
obvious to others (but not to me) that this was stupid, but it
might help someone to mention that the webware tree should be
underneath the apache html tree (or at least somewhere specified in
an httpd.conf directive). I also played with a WebwareDir=relative-
path but that didn't work either.
It looks like the requirements for webkit.cgi are as follows:
Either put the Webware source tree under an existing apache dir
(such as /home/httpd/html/webware, /var/www/webware, or whatever)
or make sure you add an httpd.conf directive such as:
<Directory /home/httpd/webware>
Options [whatever you need]
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Then use the full path to webware, enclosed in single quotes, in
the WebKit.cgi file:
WebwareDir = '/home/httpd/html/webware'
Do the permissions stuff, and start the AppServer.
Is this pretty much correct? Have I missed anything? What are the
security implications of WebKit wrt the apache permissions? I'm
still trying to grok the basics, so I haven't thought much about
the security side (not that I could think much there anyway...)
Thanks in advance, Steve
