Install the Web Interface Advanced¶

Manual configuration instructions (Advanced User)¶

Note: You may skip this section if you configured your installation with the setup wizard at http://localhost/myamiweb/setup.

Copy config.php.template to config.php and edit the latter by adding these parameters:
"config.php" should be located in /var/www/html/myamiweb/ on CentOS and /srv/www/htdocs/myamiweb/ on SuSE.

• define site base path
• This should be changed if the myamiweb directory is located
• in a sub-directory of the Apache web directory.
• ex. myamiweb is in /var/www/html/applications/myamiweb/ then
• change to define('BASE_PATH',"applications/myamiweb");

define('BASE_PATH',"myamiweb"); 

• myamiweb login system

// Browse to the administration tools in myamiweb prior to 
// changing this to true to populate DB tables correctly.
define('ENABLE_LOGIN', false);    

• Administrator email title and email address

define('EMAIL_TITLE', 'The name of your institute');
define('ADMIN_EMAIL', "example@institute.edu");

• SMTP Server setup (not required but recommended):

define('ENABLE_SMTP', false);
define('SMTP_HOST', 'mail.institute.edu');    //your smtp host

• When SMTP server requires authentication

// --- Check this with your email administrator -- //
// --- Set it to true if your SMTP server requires authentication -- //
define('SMTP_AUTH', false);

// --- If SMTP_AUTH is not required(SMTP_AUTH set to false, -- //
// --- no need to fill in 'SMTP_USERNAME' & SMTP_PASSWORD -- //
define('SMTP_USERNAME', "");
define('SMTP_PASSWORD', "");

• Setup your MySQL database server parameters:

define('DB_HOST', "");        // DB Host name
define('DB_USER', "");        // DB User name
define('DB_PASS', "");        // DB Password
define('DB_LEGINON', "");    // Leginon database name
define('DB_PROJECT', "");    // Project database name

• Enable Image Cache
  If you want to use caching function for faster image loading time in image viewer, change 'ENABLE_CACHE' to true.
  You can change the 'CACHE_PATH' to other location, but make sure the apache user has write access to this folder.

// --- Enable Image Cache --- //
define('ENABLE_CACHE', true);
// --- caching location --- //
// --- please make sure the apache user has write access to this folder --- //
define('CACHE_PATH', '/srv/www/cache/');
define('CACHE_SCRIPT', WEB_ROOT.'/makejpg.php');

For Appion Installation, also setup these in config.php:

• Enable the processing plug-in by uncommenting out the following line in the file`myamiweb/config.php`

addplugin("processing");

• Add processing host information

// --- Please enter your processing host information associate with -- //
// --- Maximum number of the processing nodes                                    -- //
// --- $PROCESSING_HOSTS[] = array('host' => 'host1.school.edu', 'nproc' => 4); -- //
// --- $PROCESSING_HOSTS[] = array('host' => 'host2.school.edu', 'nproc' => 8); -- //

// $PROCESSING_HOSTS[] = array('host' => '', 'nproc' => );

• Microscope spherical aberration constant

$DEFAULTCS = "2.0";

• IMAGIC and Other features:

// Check if IMAGIC is installed and running, otherwise hide all functions
define('HIDE_IMAGIC', false);

// hide processing tools still under development.
define('HIDE_FEATURE', true);

We will not include the cluster registration now. It is covered in the last part of this document.
