Updated for version 4.0.0 of the dap-server package This package contains general purpose handlers for use with the new Hyrax data server. These are the Usage, ASCII and HTML form handlers. Each takes input from a 'data handler' and returns a HTML or plain text response --- something other than a DAP response object. Older version of this package contain the 'Server3' CGI software; that has been removed from this version. Hyrax BES module For Hyrax this package includes the library modules that can be dynamically loaded into the OPeNDAP Back-End Server (BES) as well as help files for the modules. To load these modules into the BES simply edit the BES configuration file, its default location in /etc/bes/bes.conf. Directions for editing the configuration file follow, however, you can run the bes-dap-data.sh script to edit the script automatically. Or, if building from source you can use the bes-conf target of make to run the script for you. To edit the bes.conf script by hand: Set the BES user, group and admin email (see the comments in the bes.conf file for instructions). Change the parameter BES.modules to include the three dap-server modules ascii, usage and www as follows (example assumes you have installed the netcdf_handler module): <code> BES.modules=dap,cmds,ascii,usage,www,nc </code> And add the following three lines below this: <code> BES.module.ascii=/usr/lib/bes/libascii_module.so BES.module.usage=/usr/lib/bes/libusage_module.so BES.module.www=/usr/lib/bes/libwww_module.so </code> Also add the following near where the bes_help files are specified. <code> DAP-SERVER.Help.TXT=/usr/share/bes/dap-server_help.txt DAP-SERVER.Help.HTML=/usr/share/bes/dap-server_help.html DAP-SERVER.Help.XML=/usr/share/bes/dap-server_help.html </code> The next time the BES is started these modules will be loaded and the ascii, info_page, and html_form responses will be supported as well as the help files for dap-server specifying the syntax of these commands.
