5 A reference for CVS users of the DXSpider DXCluster program.
7 If you have any problems with a new CVS version please mail the
8 support list or come and report on WW Convers channel 9000 or from a
9 44 host to sys2.pa4ab.ampr.org (44.137.44.16) port 6667 (IRC) and join
13 The latest CVS is version 1.47. There are major changes going on
14 currently as the code is altered to allow DXSpider to be run under
17 There is a separate file for the Windows installation in the
18 /spider/html and /spider/txt directories so I will not include that
21 For Linux users, there are several steps to complete to update from
24 PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING
27 +
\bo tar up your existing perl and cmd directories and put them
28 somewhere safe so you can revert to the old version if necessary.
30 +
\bo Do a CVS update in the normal way (cvs update -d)
32 +
\bo cp /spider/perl/Listeners.pm to /spider/local and edit it as below
34 +
\bo comment out the spdlogin line in inetd.conf and 'killall -HUP
37 +
\bo "make" the client in /spider/src (just in case it has changed)
39 +
\bo restart the cluster and pray :-)
41 The Listeners file looks something like this ...
46 # Copy this file to /spider/local and modify it to your requirements
49 # This file specifies which local interfaces and ports you will be
52 # You can add as many as you like
60 # ["localhost", 7300],
61 # ["foo.dxcluster.net", 7300],
67 Alter the hostnames and ports to reflect you setup. This file is only
68 used for incoming telnet requests. You do not have to use hostnames,
69 it is quite ok to use IP addresses and it is also a matter of choice
70 whether or not you add the domain.
72 Here is an example of a working Listeners.pm file ..
85 Now all this is well and good if you have a static IP address. If
86 your IP address is dynamic then one line will do, like this ...
97 From this version, the file client.pl has ceased to be needed. In
98 fact it has been removed. If you are still using client.pl in your
99 ax25d.conf then replace it with /spider/src/client.
