Ocsigen server

---

Requirements:

Compilers:

• ocaml (need version >= 3.12.1)
• a C compiler (tested with gcc-4.4.5)

Libraries:

• findlib
• react (tested with 0.9.3)
• ocamlssl (tested with 0.4.6)
• lwt (need version >= 2.4.2, with react and ssl support)
• ocamlnet (tested with 3.6, with netstring, netstring-pcre and netsys)
• pcre-ocaml (tested with 6.2.5)
• cryptokit (tested with 1.6)
• ocaml-text (tested with 0.6)
• tyxml (need version 3)
• ipaddr (need version >= 2.1)
• ocamlsqlite3 (tested with 2.0.2) OR
• pgocaml (tested with 2.3) OR
• dbm (tested with 1.0)

Optional libraries:

• camlzip (tested with 1.04)

Ocsigenserver supports both dbm and sqlite3. Note well, that dbm isn't part of the distribution of OCaml>=4 any more, but an external package.

If OCaml 3.12.1 and the needed libraries (findlib/react/lwt...) are not installed on your computer and not available on your favorite linux distribution, you may use the Ocsigen bunble GODI to install them automatically, see:

http://ocsigen.org/install#bundle http://godi.camlcity.org/godi/index.html

To run the native code version of ocsigen server, you may need to generate cmxs files for the libraries you need, if they are not included in your distribution, see:

http://ocsigen.org/ocsigenserver/manual/misc

Build instructions:

• run "sh configure [options]" to generate 'Makefile.config'

• For the full list of options, run "sh configure --help".

• verify that 'Makefile.config' suits to your needs.

• run "make" to compile

• run "make install" as root to install

• [optional] run "make logrotate" as root to install logrotate configuration files in /etc/logrotate.d

• [optional] run "make doc" to build the ocamldoc

• [optional] run "make install.doc" as root to install the ocamldoc

• run "make uninstall" to uninstall (almost) everything

• run "make purge" to uninstall everything (even configuration files)

---

Local testings:

• run "make run.local" or "make run.opt.local" in the ocsigen source directory.

• open http://localhost:8080/index.html in your browser

• if it does not work, look at the logs (see 'local/var/log/' in the ocsgigen source directory) or run ocsigen with options -v or -V (verbose and debug mode).
