Installing and Starting the Diffraction Image Server

1. Checkout the imgsrv software into your DCS 'root' directory.

   blctlxx:~/release-3_2 > cvs checkout -r release-3_2 imgsrv
   cvs checkout: Updating imgsrv
   cvs checkout: Updating imgsrv/decunix
   U imgsrv/decunix/imgsrv
   U imgsrv/decunix/makefile
   cvs checkout: Updating imgsrv/irix
   U imgsrv/irix/makefile
   cvs checkout: Updating imgsrv/linux
   U imgsrv/linux/makefile
   cvs checkout: Updating imgsrv/src
   U imgsrv/src/filebrowser.c
   U imgsrv/src/imgsrv_cache.c
   U imgsrv/src/imgsrv_cache.h
   U imgsrv/src/imgsrv_client.c
   U imgsrv/src/imgsrv_client.h
   U imgsrv/src/imgsrv_main.c
   

2. cd into the linux, decunix, or irix build directory and build the software with the make command.

   blctlxx:~/release-3_2 > cd imgsrv/linux/
   blctlxx:~/release-3_2/imgsrv/linux > make
   

3. Start the Diffraction Image Server in the build directory:

   blctlxx:~/release-3_2/imgsrv/linux > ./imgsrv guiPort webPort tempImageDirectory

   where

   • guiPort is the port number which Blu-Ice will connect to request JPEG images

   • webPort is the port for the web based software to request images

   • tempImageDirectory is the directory in which the web based software can write temporary JPEG images.
