TWEB WWW-X500 GATEWAY   -   GETTING STARTED

With the information provided by this file you should be able to start
an initial version of TWEB. Please follow the steps below:

1. Copy the distribution Makefile onto Makefile:

     > cp Makefile.openldap Makefile

2. Edit the Makefile. You have to change the variables in the first block of
   the file to your appropriate settings:

     > vi Makefile

3. Now type in make:

     > make

   This should make a binary called tweb whithout severe problems

4. Running the TWEB www-x500 gateway

4.1. Testing the newly compiled binary

     Copy the tweb binary to the sub-directory TWEB_conFiles and
     change to that directory:

       > cp tweb TWEB_conFiles
       > cd TWEB_conFiles

     Copy the config files with extension .dist to their respective
     basefiles:

       > cp tweb.rc.dist tweb.rc
       > cp tweb.conf.0.dist tweb.conf.0
       > cp tweb.conf.1.dist tweb.conf.1
       > cp tweb.lang.0.dist tweb.lang.0
       > cp tweb.lang.1.dist tweb.lang.1

     Edit tweb.rc to adjust the variables in the
     first block to your appropriate settings:

       > vi tweb.rc

     Run TWEB with language 0 and 1 (i.e., german and english)

       > ./tweb -L01

     This will run two TWEB server processes, one for german language, the
     other for english language, whithout syslog logging;
     you can assess them with your WWW browser by giving the URL

         http://<your-tweb-host>:<your-tweb-port>/

4.2. Adapting TWEB to your local requirements

     When you reached this point you have a running TWEB with basic
     functionality. Have a look to the FEATURE-LIST file for a
     description of all features, TWEB does provide. The least, you
     might want to change are the several header and footer files
     in order to build up your organizational identity with TWEB.
     But check also the security features, and the performance (i.e.,
     load balancing) features. By setting the respective parameters,
     TWEB can provide for a very special appearance with local require-
     ments enforced as far as possible. Should you want more reasonable
     features, please don't hesitate to contact the development team.


   Have fun,
