  3. Overview • Select a server machine • Install or configure web server • Install Isite & related tools • Test Isite • Index metadata records • Test the database • Register with FGDC • Automate database indexing • On-line Metadata Entry System

  4. Selecting a server machine • Benefits/drawbacks of different platforms • Selecting a server machine • Find a working web server machine • Obtain root access • Build a server yourself_

  5. Selecting a server machine • Benefits/drawbacks of different platforms • Linux • Other UNIX • Windows NT_

  6. Selecting a server machine • Benefits/drawbacks of Linux • + Development platform for Isite • + “Supported” by Net users • + Free • + Runs on cheap hardware • - “Not Supported” … officially • - Open source: easy to crack_

  7. Selecting a server machine • Benefits/drawbacks of other UNIX • + “Supported” • + Generally considered stable • - May need custom Isite compile • - Generally costlier OS • - Generally costlier hardware_

  8. Selecting a server machine • Benefits/drawbacks of Windows NT • + “Supported” • + Fairly cheap OS • + Cheap hardware • - Not very stable OS for server_

  9. Selecting a server machine • Find a working web server machine • Must support TCP/IP ports: • http (usually port 80) • Z39.50 (usually port 210) • Create & specify a web location for the node files_

  10. Selecting a server machine • Obtain root (superuser, administrator) access • Not absolutely necessary • Makes things easier • Have the sysadmin help you set up the node_
