Install the Web Interface¶

Install Leginon and Appion web tools for viewing images and performing image processing through the web server.

1. Install pyami¶

TODO: put the prereqs for this in Web Preq page rather than linking to the processing page.

If you have not yet installed Leginon/Appion python packages on this server, the web interface will at least need the myami/pyami package to do MRC to JPEG conversion. First install the supporting packages. Then install myami/pyami as follows:

cd myami
cd pyami
python setup.py install

This will install the script "mrc2any" into /usr/bin/mrc2any (for typical linux system). You can customize the location with options to the setup.py command.
To be sure where it was installed, run:

which mrc2any

You will need to know that location when configuring below.

2. Copy the myami/myamiweb directory to your Apache web directory¶

Example:

cd myami

#CentOS example
sudo cp -vr myamiweb /var/www/html/ 

#this is temporary for setup, revert to 755 when finished with this page
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/myamiweb  

3. Configure your installation¶

There is a setup wizard available to help you set the configuration parameters for your installation. If you prefer not to use the wizard, there are instructions for manually editing the configuration file. If this is your first time creating the web tool configuration file, we recommend using the setup wizard.

Configuration using the setup wizard¶

• Run the online setup wizard by visiting http://yourhost/myamiweb/setup or http://localhost/myamiweb/setup to create the myami website’s config file.
• You need to know your database setup before you start. If you have been using the parameters in this instruction, here is a summary.
• You also need to decide whether you would like to enable the user management system.
• The setup wizard will check your database connection, create required database tables, and perform default data initialization.

Manual configuration instructions (Advanced User)¶

Go to Install the Web Interface Advanced for the advanced configuration.

4. Revert permissions¶

sudo chmod 755 /var/www/html/myamiweb

5. Test the installation¶

Visit http://yourhost/myamiweb or http://localhost/myamiweb to confirm functionality.

6. Turn off error checking in php.ini¶

Edit the following items in php.ini (found as /etc/php.ini on CentOS and /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini on SuSE) so that they look like the following:

display_errors = Off
