[naviserver-devel] Directory structure

[Vlad S. <vl...@cr...>]

Hi,

I am proposing new directory structure for /usr/local/ns, current 
installation of naviserver comes from aolserver multi-server environment 
which is not very usual. For beginners it is very confusing, for 
advanced users it does not matter because they customize it as they want.

What do you think about this:

/usr/local/ns
               bin
               conf
               include
               lib
               html
               tcl
               logs
               modules

The only changes need to be made in Makefile and sample-config.tcl. Also 
something like nsd.start in bin/ would be usefull as well. It looks very 
like Apache/Tomcat and this is not bad.

sample-config.tcl could be changed into nsd.tcl and put into 
conf/nsd.tcl upon install.

Changes in sample-config.tcl:

set home        /usr/local/ns

ns_section      "ns/server/${server}"
ns_param        pageroot                ${home}/html

ns_section      "ns/parameters"
ns_param        serverlog               ${home}/logs/nsd.log
ns_param        pidfile                 ${home}/logs/nsd.pid

ns_section      "ns/mimetypes"
ns_param        default                 text/plain
ns_param        noextension             text/plain
source          ${home}/etc/mime.tcl

ns_section      "ns/server/${server}/fastpath"
ns_param        serverdir               ${home}
ns_param        pagedir                 html

ns_section      "ns/server/${server}/tcl"
ns_param        library                 ${home}

ns_section      "ns/server/${server}/module/nslog"
ns_param        file                    ${home}/logs/access.log


In mime.tcl i keep long list(504 lines) of all known mime types, it is 
easier to add/modify this file and keep server up-to-date with new mime 
types. I'd like to add it to distribution.

bin/nsd.start is

#!/bin/bash
USER=nobody
GROUP=nobody
BIN=/usr/local/ns/bin/nsd
CFG=/usr/local/ns/conf/nsd.tcl
LOG=/usr/local/ns/logs/nsd.log

touch $LOG
chown $USER $LOG
exec $BIN -i -u $USER -g $GROUP -t $CFG >> $LOG 2>&1
