== Requirements ==
- cabal-install
* See quick installation instructions at the bottom of
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/CabalInstall
- GF installed as a Cabal package
$ (cd ../.. && cabal install)
- FastCGI development kit
(MacPorts) $ sudo port install fcgi
(Ubuntu) $ sudo apt-get install libfcgi-dev
- Google Web Toolkit
- Download from http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/
- Unpack somewhere.
- Set $GWT_CLASSPATH to point to the GWT JAR files. For example:
$ export GWT_DIR="/Users/bringert/src/gwt-mac-1.5.3"
$ export GWT_CLASSPATH="$GWT_DIR/gwt-user.jar:$GWT_DIR/gwt-dev-mac.jar"
== Building ==
- Build pgf.fcgi. This will use cabal to install the dependencies (cgi, fastcgi, json, utf8-string).
$ make
- Build small example grammar:
$ make food.pgf
$ cp food.pgf grammar.pgf
== Running (lighttpd) ==
- Install lighttpd
(MacPorts) $ sudo port install lighttpd
(Ubuntu) $ sudo apt-get install lighttpd
- Run pgf.fcgi with lighttpd:
$ make run
== Testing ==
- First test from the command-line, since debugging is harder from the AJAX UI:
$ curl 'http://localhost:41296/pgf/grammar.pgf/translate?input=this+fish&cat=Item&from=FoodEng'
- Non-GWT AJAX UI:
See http://localhost:41296/simple-client.html
- GWT translator:
$ make gwt-translate
Then see http://localhost:41296/translate/
- GWT fridge poetry:
$ make gwt-fridge
Then see http://localhost:41296/fridge/
- GWT morphology:
$ make gwt-morpho
Then see http://localhost:41296/morpho/
The MorphoService.hs module has build-in paths to the grammar that will be loaded.
This have to be fixed by hand
== Running (Apache) ==
Note: This is more complicated, and the instructions may not be up to date.
- Make sure that your web server supports FastCGI. For Apache on OS X,
do this:
$ curl -O http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-2.4.6.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf mod_fastcgi-2.4.6.tar.gz
$ cd mod_fastcgi-2.4.6/
$ apxs -o mod_fastcgi.so -c *.c
$ sudo apxs -i -a -n fastcgi mod_fastcgi.so
- Make sure that your web server knows that gf.fcgi is a FastCGI
program.
- Make sure that you are allowed to run FastCGI programs in the
directory that you use.
- With large grammars, gf.fcgi may take long enough to start that the web server
thinks that the program has died. With Apache, you can fix this by adding
"FastCgiConfig -startDelay 30" to your httpd.conf.
These sections from my Apache config fixes the above two
(some of this may be fixed by the second apxs command above):
(On OS X, this is in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf)
LoadModule fastcgi_module libexec/httpd/mod_fastcgi.so
AddModule mod_fastcgi.c
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
FastCgiConfig -startDelay 30
</IfModule>
(On OS X, this is in /etc/httpd/users/bringert.conf)
<Directory "/Users/bringert/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
- If you have changed the web server config, you need to restart the web server
(this is also useful to get a clean slate if you end up with dead or resource-hogging
FastCGI processes):
$ sudo apachectl restart
- If Apache complains about a syntax error on the FastCgiIpcDir line, try deleting
any existing /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ directory:
$ sudo rm -rf /tmp/fcgi_ipc/
- Copy or symlink this directory to your web directory.
- First test from the command-line, since debugging is harder from the AJAX UI:
$ curl 'http://localhost/~bringert/gf-server/gf.fcgi/translate?input=this+fish&cat=Item&from=FoodEng'
- Check server logs (e.g. /var/log/httpd/error_log) if it doesn't work.
- Go to SERVER_URL/simple-client.html in your web browser.
