Welcome to bfast server. bfast server is copyrighted software. Please see the file LICENSE for details. For installation directions, please see: INSTALL == QUICK START GUIDE == This guide is meant to describe some of the ambiguous arguments to the BFAST server. The intention is to replace this with a full manual. Please send suggestions to nhomer@cs.ucla.edu. The user must give the list of references and indexes to the BFAST Server. Each line of the reference genome list or the index list must include at least two space/tab seperated items: 1. path and filename to the reference genome (.brg) and index (.bif). 2. the id to use (typically the name of the genome described). For the reference genome list a third column must be specified: 3. the id of the space ("nt" or "cs" with no quotes). To deploy the bfast.cgi script, use the following hierarchy in your web directory: html/ html/images/ html/images/gradient.jpg html/images/error.jpg html/css/ html/css/bfast.css cgi-bin/ cgi-bin/bfast.cgi You may need to change "bfast.cgi" to suit your needs. For example, there are some hard-coded paths and options in the "bfast.cgi" perl script, including: 1. lines 17-19 (no need to modify if the hierarchy above is used). 2. lines 668-674 specify where the tmp files will be stored. If you include a world-readable/world-writeable "tmp" directory in the above hierarchy, you should be ok.
