CSI Web Server for Linux Installation
Guide
1. Introduction
CSI Web Server for Linux is a port of the Campbell Scientific CSI Web Server
product to the Linux Operating System along with one copy of Web Publisher
for Windows. This package does not provide a Linux based Web Publisher.
The Web Publisher is installed on a Windows machine and used to publish
RTMC projects to the Linux based CSI Web Server.
Packages have been built for Red Hat (or Cent OS) version 6.1 and newer,
SUSE Linux version 11.4 and newer, Debian version 6 and newer, and Ubuntu
version 11.04 and newer.
The Debian and Ubuntu version also includes a CSI Web Server Administrator
package. Due to difficulties in supporting the requisite version of the
wxWidgets package on the other platforms, they must be administered by
editing the configuration file directly.
This document focuses mainly on the installation and configuration of the CSI
Web Server for Linux. For additional information on using the CSI Web Server
as well as the CSI Web Server Administrator and the Web Publisher see the
CSI Web Server manual.
