# Installation of webCDwriter

## Introduction

webCDwriter consists of the server CDWserver and the clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver has to be installed on the machine with the real CD-writer. The client webCDcreator should be installed in the document tree of the web server on the same machine. Only the command line client rcdrecord has to be installed locally on the client machines.

## Installing by RPM

If there is a RPM package available for your system, install it by

rpm -ihv webCDwriter-version.rpm

Follow the instructions of this command to start and test CDWserver.

## Installing webCDwriter-version-signed.tgz

If there is no RPM available for your system, you may install webCDwriter from webCDwriter-version-signed.tgz. Execute the following lines

tar xzvf webCDwriter-version-signed.tgz cd webCDwriter-version ./configure --httpRoot=rootDirectoryOfHttpdDocumentTree make su make install

Now you can start CDWserver by

/etc/rc.d/init.d/CDWserver start

and stop it by

/etc/rc.d/init.d/CDWserver stop

Try to get the status of CDWserver by

/etc/rc.d/init.d/CDWserver status

or visit the http status port http://localhost:12412/ to make sure everything is OK.

## Installing rcdrecord

On Unix clients you may download the command line client rcdrecord and install it by

tar xzvf rcdrecord-version.tgz cd rcdrecord-version ./configure --host=addressOfYourServer make su make install
