mMOD installation


mMOD daemon

  1. Make sure you have JDK1.1 (or later) installed

  2. Unpack the mMOD package in a separate directory.

  3. Edit the two variables at the top of the files mMOD, mVCR and mIndex to reflect where you have installed JDK and where you have unpacked this package.

  4. To be able to launch MBone tools from Netscape you also have to install the mLaunch-tool.

  5. You are now ready to try out mMOD system! Start the mMOD daemon by running the mMOD program. All logs for HTTP requests will be sent to stdout so might want to redirect that to a logfile.

    By default, mMOD will listen on port 80. This port can be changed by option 'p' to mMOD, e.g. mMOD -p 15000


mMOD.rc

The mMOD.rc files controls that only one mMOD daemon is running and adds a convenient way to starting and stopping the daemon.

  1. Edit the three variable at the top of mMOD.rc
  2. IF you want the mMOD to start automagically under Solaris whenever the system reboots do the following as root:

            cp mMOD.rc /etc/init.d
            ln -s /etc/init.d/mMOD.rc /etc/rc3.d/S99mMOD
     
       ELSE just copy the mMOD.rc file to a convenient place
     
            cp mMOD.rc /usr/local/bin
