[Bio-Linux] installing wwwblast server

[Martin Ostrowski]

Does anyone have some detailed instructions for installing a wwblast 
server (for the local network only) on bio-linux 3.0.

In fact, I think that I'm OK with the configuration of the wwwblast 
package to see databases installed in /home/db/blastdb, but opening of 
the firewall, turning on http and getting CGI scripts to run is proving 
to be a little tricky

I have followed the notes in the Bio-linux system admin FAQ which 
involve editing /etc/narc/narc.conf and restarting narc
(btw FAQ 15 and 23 show 'httpd' or 'http' at the end of ALLOW_TCP_EXT= 
"ssh,rsync,http", which one is correct?).

httpd is running, I have access to the blast pages at 
http://localhost/blast/blast.html but no access to 
http://ipadress/blast/blast.html or 
http://nerc.bio.warwick.ac.uk/blast/blast.html

Does anyone have some suggestions?

best wishes,
Martin
