All,
In recent correspondence I was reminded that there has been no news from me on
the ongoing of saga of running the acedb server under xinetd (as opposed to the
older unix inetd utility).
Below is a known working configuration for acedb under xinetd, thanks to Lincoln
Stein and Jack Chen of CSHL for this information. They use the server as part of
their wormbase web site.
They are running linux version:
Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
kernal: 2.4.18-27.7.xbigmem
with xinetd version:
xinetd-2.3.7-4.7x
and the xinetd stanza they use is:
service acedb
{
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
port = 2005
flags = REUSE
wait = yes
user = acedb
group = acedb
log_on_success += USERID DURATION
log_on_failure += USERID HOST
server = /usr/local/acedb/bin/sgifaceserver
server_args = /usr/local/acedb/elegans 1200:1200:0
}
(note that you will need to change the port, user, group, server and server_args
fields for you setup.)
There have been many problems with xinetd in the past so you may want to make
sure that you have at least the above level of xinetd before you start trying
out acedb with it. I will be adding the above information to the server
documentation.
cheers Ed
