AIPS++ web services

This section describes web services provided by the AIPS++ master host.

Master services

The AIPS++ master host, aips2.nrao.edu, is set up as the web server for AIPS++ at NRAO Socorro. The master web server directly provides a number of services which may only be linked to by other AIPS++ web servers:

• The master RCS repository.

• The archive RCS repository.

• The AIPS++ anonymous ftp areas.

• The AIPS++ email exploder archives.

• Separately released AIPS++ software components:
  • cxx2html.
  • FITS classes.
  • Glish.

The AIPS++ master home page is at http://aips2.nrao.edu.

Server configuration

aips2.nrao.edu runs NCSA's httpd. The essential features of the server configuration are as follows:

• The server is installed in /home/tarzan/httpd/....

• The httpd DocumentRoot directory is /home/tarzan.

• The httpd ScriptAlias directory is /home/tarzan/httpd/cgi-bin.

• /home/tarzan/robots.txt contains entries which exclude web crawlers from certain parts of the document hierarchy, notably the email archives.

The AIPS++ links are enabled via unix symlinks in DocumentRoot:

   aips++/archive  -> /export/aips++/archive/
   aips++/ftp      -> /export/aips++/pub/
   aips++/mail     -> /export/aips++/Mail/
   aips++/master   -> /export/aips++/master/
   aips++/RELEASED -> ftp/RELEASED/

plus there are also links to the local AIPS++ installations:

   aips++/daily  -> /aips++/daily/
   aips++/weekly -> /aips++/weekly/

   aips++/code   -> daily/code/
   aips++/docs   -> daily/docs/

The AIPS++ links are presented in a HTML document /home/tarzan/index.html.
