ECOSIM Demonstrator installation guide

The ECOSIM Demonstrator is distributed as a compressed (gzip) tar archive on tape, or can be downloaded from the ESS ftp server.

General instruction for the installation of an ESS application can be found in the AirWare Reference Manual

Installation of the model servers

In the special case that the model and database servers are implemented on the same machine as the ECOSIM Demonstrator (e.g., in the case of the Berlin Demonstrator), the corresponding files are available in a separate tar file, www.tar. The application server environment consists of the http daemon and individual models or data servers (e.g., regozon and blume in the case of Berlin).

To install the server environment,

• move the file www.tar to a appropriate location on the target machine;
• extract the tar archive with:
  tar xvf www.tar

The http daemon is driven by a number of configuration files (www/config/*.conf). The following variables are to be redefined in the configuration files (according to the new location or path):

• ServerRoot
• CacheRoot
• Pass
• Exec

To start http daemon use: httpd_3.0A -v -r config/httpd.conf -p 8080

The individual servers, models or data servers (regozon, blume.exe) are in the directory www/cgi-bin.

Blume data files are in the directory www/blume.

Regozon is driven by its configuration file www/fort.94.
