6. WebMO Administration
$ rsh -l webmo compserver.domain.edu ls
should list the files on the remote computational server, where webmo is the account
under which the webserver cgi scripts run.
Detailed instructions for configuring a remote computational server may be found by clicking
the Help button on the Remote Server Manager. Briefly, insure that the above pre-requisites are
met, and test that the webserver can execute remote commands on the compserver. Add the
remote server to WebMO in the Remote Server Manager by specifying the requested information,
clicking the Submit button, and waiting 5 to 60 seconds for a confirmation message. Then, enable
the computational engine interfaces for the remote server in the Interface Manager by selecting the
remote server, clicking the Change button, and clicking the Enable button for each available
interface. Finally, configure each new interface in the {Computational Engine} Manger by
selecting the remote server, clicking the Change button, editing the preferences such as the path
to the executable, and clicking the Submit button.
Exiting remote servers can be upgraded, renamed, or deleted from the Edit Existing Remote
Server section of the Remote Server Manager.
Remote servers should be upgraded whenever WebMO itself is upgraded. To upgrade a remote
server, specify the remote Target Server, and click the Upgrade button. Waiting 5 to 60 seconds
for a confirmation message. In effect, the upgrade process deletes and adds the remote server,
with the end result that the latest WebMO scripts are copied to the remote server.
To rename a remote server, choose the remote Target server, specify a new Server name, and
click the Rename button. To delete a remote server, choose the remote Target server, specify a
new Server name, and click the Delete button.
