Installation

The simplest way to setup the web server is to install [xampp portable] (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) and copy the contents of the phpclient directory from the numericstream repository into the htdocs folder (or a subdirectory of that if you wish to keep things tidier). Currently some editing of the php is necessary to setup a web page, testing.php is an example web page, settings.php contains all the settings necessary to run this test page. These will need editing depending on where your database is and what the table(s) are called. Additionally mydatatable, mylatestvalue and mytimeseries.php can be edited or removed depending on which features you need for your webpage.

The delimited string database driver (numericstream-serdrv010.exe) should be copied into a directory outside your webserver, this directory should contain the executable for the driver, batch file to run it (rundrv.bat), and the settings.xml file which controls the behaviour of the driver. The executable can either be built from the source or a 32 bit windows XP version can be downloaded from the files section. You may or may not require two dll's that mingw compiled programs need. The batch file and xml file can be found in the driver files in the subversion repository, the latter will require editing as described elsewhere.
