This directory contains code needed to integrate the archie 2 release with a Prospero server. You should start from the most recent prospero release. You can obtain information about the release from info-prospero@isi.edu. The release should be available on prospero.isi.edu in the file /pub/prospero/prospero.tar.Z. Here are specific instructions on how to tie Prospero in to Archie: Retrieve the release, and untar it. Installation instructions are included, but they are not tailored to Archie. The changes to the installations instruction for using it with Archie follow: 1) There is probably no need to set up separate user and group IDs for Prospero, just use those for Archie. 2) In pserver.h, define PSRV_ARCHIE. 3) In server/Makefile uncomment the appropriate DB_LIBS line for your configuration (archie2 or archie3) 4) In the directory lib/psrv/archie2 or lib/psrv/archie3, create a symbolic link archie_src in the directory the archie sources. Note, you must obtain archie sources from the archie group. For archie3, these sources must have been obtained after 2/22/93. For archie2, there has been a change to oper.c in the archie sources that should have been obtained since 2/22/93. Note also that for archie2, the archie sources must be set up to use the full path of the database directory, or you will also have to create a db symbolic link from the directory within which the Prospero server will run. 5) Run make in lib/psrv/archie2 or lib/psrv/archie3 depending on your configuration. If using archie3, make a link from libparchie.a to the file libparchie.a in the archie3 distribution. If you want, you can add lib/psrv/archie2 or lib/psrv/archie3 to the list of subdirectories in the top level Prospero makefile (SUBDIR). 6) Make the other necessary customizations (as per the installation instructions for prospero) by editing include/pserver.h, include/pmachine.h, and the top level make file. 7) As per the installation instructions, do a make, make install, then run pstart (you will probably want to add pstart to your system startup files).
