EDG Web Interface Installation

This assumes you are on a platform that supports apache and perl.

1. check out the edg module from the edg.sourceforge.net:

   cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.edg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/edg login
    
   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.edg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/edg co edg

2. start lisp and do :
   
   1. (load "load-edg")
   2. (load-all)
   3. (listen-on-port :port 8010)
3. Test the lisp server in a shell. Your shell session should look something like the following :

   ekoontz@newhiro ekoontz $ telnet localhost 8010
   Trying 127.0.0.1...
   Connected to localhost.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   (parse "hiro sleeps")
   ((<VP-2 ("hiro sleeps ")> <HIRO ("hiro")>)
    (<SLEEPS ("sleeps")>))
   Connection closed by foreign host.
   ekoontz@newhiro ekoontz $
               

4. check out the edg-web module from the edg.sourceforge.net:

   cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.edg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/edg login
    
   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.edg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/edg co edg-web

5. install apache
6. install the Sablotron library, including XML::Sablotron, the Perl module.
7. Supposing your edg-web is checked out into /home/ekoontz, (your directory will vary of course), add the following lines to the httpd.conf file :

   Alias /edg "/home/ekoontz/edg-web/"
   
   <Directory "/home/ekoontz/edg-web">
       Options MultiViews
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
   </Directory>
   
   <Directory "/home/ekoontz/edg-web/cgi">
       AllowOverride None
       Options ExecCGI
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
       SetHandler cgi-script
   </Directory>
   

8. restart apache
9. open a web browser and go to : http://localhost/edg/parse.html
10. That's it! You should be able to interact with EDG through the web-based interface now. You can monitor the lisp process; it will print the input that it is getting from the cgi script edg-web/cgi/edg.pl
