47 1. Introduction
48 == ============
49 This readme talks about the steps to setup Pegasus, Apache webserver and the
50 Pegasus webdemo on Windows and Linux platforms.
51 The pegasus/cgi directory contains the HTML CGI interface to Pegasus. It is
52 used as part of a demonstration of the Pegasus environment through a WEB
53 browser.
54
55 It consists of two** subdirectories:
56 1. htdocs : This directory contains the HTML forms that form the basis of the
57 demonstration. The starting point for the demo is index.html
58 a.arora 1.5
59 2. cgi-bin: This directory contains the CGI executables. This consists of the
60 Pegasus CGIClient.exe program and the supporting shared libraries.
61 We have placed them in this directory despite the fact that they
62 also exist in the PEGASUS_HOME/bin directory to limit exposure to
63 other executables through CGI and to avoid a permanent path the
64 $PEGASUS_HOME$/bin directory when Apache is executing.
65 **There is a third directory "icons" which has the logo for "Open Groups".
66
67 This demonstration uses the HTML pages in htdocs as forms to generate CGI
68 requests through the WEB Server. These requests are serviced by the Pegasus
69 CGIClient executable (copied to "cgi-bin" directory by the Makefile in this
70 directory). CGIClient, in turn converts the CGI forms input to Pegasus CIM
71 Operations C++ calls. The Pegasus client library converts the calls to XML
72 conforming with the DMTF CIM Operations over HTTP specifications and passes
73 them to the Pegasus CIM Server.
74
75 The CIM server responses in XML are interpreted by the CGI client (part of the
76 SDK code) which then generates appropriate HTML responses and passes them back
77 to the WEB server.
78
79 a.arora 1.5 NOTE: By default, the CGIClient fixes the address and port of the CIM server as
80 ---- URL : localhost
81 Port : 5988
82 This can be changed by using "Define Host" option provided in the demo.
83
84 If you have already got Pegasus installed and configured, please jump to
85 "3. How to setup Apache webserver".

89 2. How to setup Pegasus
90 == ===================
91 A. On Windows platform
92 -- -------------------
93 Environment setup:
94 ==================
95 1. MS Visual Studio VC++ (tested on .NET 2003 (Version 7.1))
96 2. A CVS client (say WinCVS 1.2 @ http://www.wincvs.org/download.html)
97 3. GNU-make 3.79 for Windows (@ http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/)
98 It should be compiled using NMake (NMake comes with VC++). For details
99 on how to work with NMake, please refer to Readme file(s) which comes
100 a.arora 1.5 with the GNU-make source code.
101 NOTE: The latest GNU-make for Windows can also be found at
102 ---- "http://www.openpegasus.org/pb/index.tpl".
103
104
105 Downloading Pegasus source tree:
106 ================================
107 There are two options for downloading Pegasus source code:
108 1. Source from CVS:
109 Download Pegasus sourcetree from www.pegasus.org (say in <Drive>:\<pegtop>).
110 If using WinCVS to download, please use following settings:
111 a> Go to "Admin" menu option and select "Preferences"
112 b> In "General" tab, set CVSROOT to ":pserver:anon@cvs.opengroup.org:
113 /cvs/MSB"
114 c> Set Authentication to '"passwd" file on CVS server' (this option is
115 there in "General" tab under Admin->Preferences).
116 d> In "WinCVS" tab (again, under Admin->Preferences) set Home to
117 "<Drive>:\<pegtop>"
118 e> Go to "Admin" menu option and select "login"
119 f> Give "anon" as the password when prompted
120 g> Type "cvs checkout pegasus" in the command line menu option under
121 a.arora 1.5 "Admin".
122 2. Source from www.openpegasus.org
123 There is a snapshot of the latest release of Pegasus (eg. Pegasus
124 2.3.1) on the pegasus home page http://www.openpegasus.org. The release
125 is present under the Recent Documents (eg. "Release 2.3.1 - zip format
126 (Windows)"). You may download the source from this link.
127
128
129
130 Building Pegasus:
131 =================
132 1. Export following environment variables with suitable values.
133 For an example:
134 set PEGASUS_ROOT=<Drive>:/<pegtop>/pegasus
135 set PEGASUS_HOME=<Drive>:/<pegtop>/pegasus
136 set PEGASUS_PLATFORM=WIN32_IX86_MSVC
137 NOTE: a> You might have to use "\" in the path instead of "/".
138 ---- b> These variables can be exported from the command window
139 manually each time you need to compile/run Pegasus, or you can
140 add them as "System Variables" in "My Computer" -(right
141 click)->"Properties"-->"Advanced"--> "Environment variables".
142 a.arora 1.5 2. Make sure that you execute "vsvars32.bat" ("vcvars32.bat" in Visual
143 Studio 6.0) file (comes with Visual Studio) every time you open a new
144 command prompt Window before issuing any compilation (NMake or make).
145 Or else, you may also set PATH environment variable to point to Visual
146 Studio paths.
147 3. Compile MU.exe (Unix-commands emulator for Windows) by issuing a make
148 in the "<Drive>:\<pegtop>\pegasus\src\utils\mu" folder. Make sure that
149 MU.exe exists in "<Drive>:\<pegtop>\pegasus\bin" folder. If not, copy
150 it here.
151 4. Add "<Drive>:\<pegtop>\pegasus\bin" directory to the PATH environment
152 variable.
153
154 5. Issue following commands in pegasus home directory
155 (<Drive>:\<pegtop>\pegasus)
156 a> make : (This comand may take 10 to 30 minutes depending on your
157 machine's configuration. If you don't see any error message
158 on the screen, the compilation would have gone fine. You
159 may still confirm this by checking for "cimserver.exe" file
160 in "<Drive>:\<pegtop>\bin" path. In case of any error, check
161 the error message on the screen and try to correct it. Some
162 of the common problems faced are:
163 a.arora 1.5 i > "cl.exe : File Not Found." (This implies that you haven't
164 executed step# 2).
165 ii> "<Drive>:<pegtop><some-path> Not Found" (Try changing the
166 slash in the path exported by PEGASUS_HOME. If using
167 "/", replace it with "\" and vice-versa.
168 iii> For some other error, try to solve it, or else you may ask
169 your query on "pegasus-l@opengroup.org" mailing list
170 giving a detailed description of the problem (preferably
171 with some snapshots).
172
173 b> make repository : (This command may take 5 to 10 minutes, again
174 depending on your machine's configuration.
175 c> make tests (optional) : (This command may take roughly 5 minutes).
176
177 Starting the CIM Server:
178 ========================
179 1. From Command prompt, type cimserver. This would start it (inorder to
180 stop issue "cimserver -s" command). You can issue "cimprovider -l"
181 command to verify that the cimserver is running fine. This command
182 would tell you if the server is not running.
183 2. There are various command line clients present in pegasus which
184 a.arora 1.5 provide/configure some of the basic features of the cimserver. Some of
185 these are:
186 cimconfig - To list/change/setup configuration parameters for
187 cimserver.
188 cimprovider- To list/load/unload/delete/ various providers.
189 cimmof - This command operates through the client interface and
190 acts as a remote compiler for MOF files against an active
191 CIM Repository.
192 cimmofl - This command is also used to compile the MOF files, but it
193 operates locally and directly against the repository.
194 cimauth - For configuring/ listing authorization support.
195 cimuser - For listing/adding/deleting/modifying users to access the
196 pegasus repository.
197 3. There is a command line utility CLI for running individual cim
198 operations.
199 "CLI -h" to get help for the usage of this client.
200
201
202
203 B. On Linux Platform
204 -- -----------------
205 a.arora 1.5 Environment setup:
206 ==================
207 RedHat Linux 8.0 on IA32 with gcc-3.x
208
209 Downloading Pegasus source tree:
210 ================================
211 There are 2 options for downloading pegasus sources on your local machine:
212 1. Source from CVS.
213 Commands for fetching the Pegasus source code using CVS are:
214 a> Export the CVSROOT environment variable:
215 "export CVSROOT=:pserver:anon@cvs.opengroup.org:/cvs/MSB"
216 b> Run "cvs login" command. When it prompts for the password give
217 "anon".
218 c> Execute "cvs checkout pegasus".
219 NOTE: Refer the note in "How To Setup the Pegasus WebDemo (on Linux)"
220 ---- for selecting the path where Pegasus code should be put.
221 Once the source tree has been checked out it can be updated regularly
222 (as required) by running "cvs update -d".
223 2. Source from www.openpegasus.org
224 There is a snapshot of the latest release of Pegasus (eg. Pegasus
225 2.3.1) on the pegasus home page http://www.openpegasus.org. The release
226 a.arora 1.5 is present under the Recent Documents (eg. "Release 2.3.1 - compressed
227 tar format (Linux)"). You may download the source from this link.
228
229
230 Setting up Pegasus
231 ==================
232 1. Open .bash_profile in your home directory ~<username>/.bash_profile
233
234 2. Write the following statements into .bash_profile in order to setup
235 Pegasus variables (replace <pegtop> with the path where you want to put
236 Pegasus source tree):
237 PEGASUS_HOME=/<pegtop>/pegasus/
238 PEGASUS_ROOT=/<pegtop>/pegasus/
239 PEGASUS_PLATFORM=LINUX_IX86_GNU
240 export PEGASUS_HOME PEGASUS_ROOT PEGASUS_PLATFORM
241 export PATH=$PATH:/<pegtop>/pegasus/bin
242
243 NOTE: You may keep the PEGASUS_HOME and PEGASUS_ROOT as different
244 ---- paths. This would allow you to install the binaries, libraries
245 and the repository in a different path and not in the same path
246 as the Pegasus source code. If they are different, please make
247 a.arora 1.5 sure that the paths exist.
248 3. Logout and Re-login to your account and change directory to
249 pegasus/(the one we created in the step above).
250 [The logout and login is to make sure that your .bash_profile is
251 executed so that the PEGASUS_XXXX variables are set to their respective
252 values. You may also execute .bash_profile manually
253 (". ~/.bash_profile") thus avoiding the logout/login process.]
254 4. Check your system if gcc-3.x is installed. Run "g++ --version" to check
255 the version. If you are using Redhat linux then it would show something
256 like this: "g++ (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) Copyright
257 (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the
258 source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for
259 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
260
261 Building Pegasus
262 ================
263 1. Change directory to the one in which pegasus sources are present and
264 execute "make" OR "make 2>&1 | tee make.log"
265 [The command "make 2>&1 | tee make.log" is just to keep a build log for
266 your reference, and is not mandatory. This log may be helpful in
267 detecting problems that might arise during build.
268 a.arora 1.5 2. Run "make repository" OR "make repository 2>&1 | tee make-
269 repository.log". This will create a directory repository/ under the
270 PEGASUS_ROOT directory, which contains the classes and instances for
271 all namespaces present in the project. All the MOFs are compiled during
272 this "make repository", and the XMLs generated are put in the
273 "repository" directory.
274 3. To execute all the basic tests present in Pegasus sources, execute
275 "make tests" and execute "make -f TestMakefile tests" to run all the
276 tests specified in the TestMakefile.
277
278
279 Starting the CIM Server:
280 ========================
281 1. To start the pegasus server just run: "cimserver"
282 You may use "cimprovider -l" command to verify if the cimserver is
283 running or not.
284 To stop: "cimserver -s".
285 [Remember: To stop the cimserver you need to have root access. If you
286 started the cimserver from a non-user account you will have to
287 explicitly kill it by issuing "killall cimserver"]
288 2. There are various clients present in pegasus which provide/configure
289 a.arora 1.5 some of the basic features of the cimserver. Some of these commands
290 are:
291 cimconfig - To list/change/setup configuration parameters for
292 cimserver.
293 cimprovider- To list/load/unload/delete/ various providers.
294 cimmof - This command operates through the client interface and
295 acts as a remote compiler for MOF files against an active
296 CIM Repository.
297 cimmofl - This command is also used to compile the MOF files, but it
298 operates.
299 locally and directly against the repository.
300 cimauth - For configuring/ listing authorization support.
301 cimuser - For listing/adding/deleting/modifying users to access the
302 pegasus repository.
303 3. There is a command line utility CLI for running individual cim
304 operations. Execute "CLI ?" to get a list of operations supported by
305 pegasus currently.
306 "CLI -h" to get help for the usage of this client.
307
308
309 3. How to setup Apache webserver
310 a.arora 1.5 == =============================
311 A. On Windows platform
312 -- -------------------
313 Download and install Apache webserver (Httpd) (binary version) for Windows
314 from www.apache.org (http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi).
315
316 B. On Linux platform
317 -- -----------------
318 Download the Apache webserver (Httpd) code for Linux from www.apache.org
319 (http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi).
320 Follow the instructions in the README file to build and install Httpd.
321
322
323
324 4. How to setup the Pegasus webdemo
325 == ================================
326 A. On Windows platform
327 -- -------------------
328 Modify the httpd.conf (this file can be found in "<apache-install-dir>\conf"
329 folder) Apache configuration file with the following Entries (do not forget
330 to replace <pegtop> with the path where you have put the Pegasus source code):
331 a.arora 1.5 #PEGASUS
332 ScriptAlias /pegasus/cgi-bin/CGIClient "<Drive>:/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin/CGIClient.exe"
333 ScriptAlias /pegasus/cgi-bin "<Drive>:/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin"
334 Alias /pegasus/icons "<Drive>:/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/icons"
335 Alias /pegasus "<Drive>:/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/htdocs"
336
337 <Directory "<Drive>:/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin">
338 AllowOverride None
339 Options ExecCGI
340 allow from all
341 </Directory>
342
343
344 B. On Linux platform
345 -- -----------------
346 Modify the httpd.conf (it can be found in "<Apache-install-path>/conf"
347 directory. The default value of <Apache-install-path> is "/usr/local/apache")
348 Apache configuration file with the following Entries (do not forget to replace
349 <pegtop> with the path where you have put the Pegasus source code) :
350 #PEGASUS
351 ScriptAlias /pegasus/cgi-bin/CGIClient "/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin/CGIClient"
352 a.arora 1.5 ScriptAlias /pegasus/cgi-bin "/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin"
353 Alias /pegasus/icons "/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/icons"
354 Alias /pegasus "/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/htdocs"
355
356 <Directory "/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi/cgi-bin">
357 AllowOverride None
358 Options ExecCGI
359 allow from all
360 </Directory>
361
362 NOTE: Please make sure that each directory in the path "/<pegtop>/pegasus
363 ---- /cgi/cgi-bin/" has execute permission for "nobody" user (Apache
364 httpd uses this userid to access files on the server, when a client
365 request comes in). This can be done by giving "x" permission in
366 "others" for all the directories.
367 Giving execute permission to all the directories may be a security
368 concern for some users when they have the Pegasus source tree in
369 their home directories. In this case, there are two options:
370 1> Put the Pegasus source tree in some other path (eg. "/pegasus"),
371 and not in home directory.
372 2> Copy the entire cgi directory tree from "/<pegtop>/pegasus/cgi"
373 a.arora 1.5 to put it in some path where you can give execute permission to
374 "others".
375
376
377 5. How to start the Pegasus webdemo
378 == ================================
379 A> Give a "make" in <pegtop>/pegasus/cgi to get the necessary executables
380 copied (CGIClient program, etc) to cgi-bin.
381 B> Open a web-browser from a client machine and put the following URL in it:
382 "http://<host-addr>/pegasus"
383 where <host-addr> can be the "localhost" (if the client machine is same
384 as the server), or a valid IP address of the server (machine hosting
385 the Pegasus webdemo and the Apache server).
386 C> You would see the index.html (under pegasus/cgi/htdocs path) loaded in the
387 browser. Follow the instructions mentioned and have fun !
