prompt> cd $OWHOME/WebApps/conf
prompt> cp
ascii_file_extensions.dat.default ascii_file_extensions.dat
prompt> vi ascii_file_extensions.dat
And add in file extensions as required.
A similar approach can be adopted for common mime types using the file
$OWHOME/WebApps/conf/web_file_extensions.dat. Members of the
WOW_ADMIN_GROUP can configure both these files through the browser by clicking on
‘Admin’ on the WOW top bar.
GeoProbe
As with Z-MAP Plus, GeoProbe projects can be widely scattered across filesystems;
GeoProbe does not have a strong 'project' structure like OpenWorks. WOW needs to
know where to look for these data.
The WOW for GeoProbe module uses two methods to identify GeoProbe projects. Type
GP projects exist beneath any of the parent directories listed in the gp_projdirs.dat
configuration file in $OWHOME/WebApps/conf. The directories must be direct parent
directories of GeoProbe projects:
prompt> cd $OWHOME/WebApps/conf
prompt> cp gp_projdirs.dat.default gp_projdirs.dat
prompt> vi gp_projdirs.dat
… add parent directories of GeoProbe projects, e.g.:
#########################################################################
#
# This file contains a list of project directories for GeoProbe.
# File format:
# - directory (required)
# - district (optional; use 'all' if shared between districts)
#
#########################################################################
/data1/gom/geoprobe GOM
/data2/int/geoprobe INT
/data3/misc/geoprobe
Type OW projects are OpenWorks-linked; they exist beneath any of the OpenWorks
external storage directories listed in owdir.dat, e.g.
<owdir.dat entry>/OW_PROJ_DATA/<OpenWorks Project>/GeoProbe.
WOW for GeoProbe does not use the home directory-based projects.dat file.
VIP
As with Z-MAP Plus VIP data can be widely scattered across filesystems. WOW needs to
know where to look for these data. The methodology employed is to maintain a list of
parent directories in configuration files in $OWHOME/WebApps/conf.
For VIP, the directories specified must be parent directories of VDB files/directories:
