===Notes===

* Use Xebra revision 78995 for this tutorial.
* This tutorial was tested with EiffelStudio 6.4.7.8600 ($ISE_EIFFEL) and eiffel_src ($EIFFEL_SRC) revision 78995.
* The env vars $EIFFEL_SRC, $ISE_EIFFEL, $ISE_PLATFORM and $ISE_LIBRARY are expected to be set.

==Ubuntu 9.04 with Apache 2.2.11==
===Checkout Xebra===
* Define $XEBRA_DEV and checkout xebra from https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/eiffelstudio/trunk/Src/framework/web/xebra/ to $XEBRA_DEV

===Setup Apache===

Note: Mod_xebra does currently not run with the apache distribution that comes with ubuntu.

* Download apache unix source httpd-2.2.11 from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
* Extract
* Define $APACHE2 where you want to install apache, e.g. to $XEBRA_DEV/httpd
* Run the following commands:
 CFLAGS="-ggdb"./configure --prefix={insert path here}
 make
 make install
* Compile the module by running
 cd $XEBRA_DEV/c_projects/mod_xebra
 $APACHE2/bin/apxs -c -Wc,-ggdb -I$ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/include mod_xebra.c mod_xebra.h
* Install the module to apache by running
 sudo $APACHE2/bin/apxs -i mod_xebra.la
* Add the following lines to Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf:
 LoadModule xebra_module modules/mod_xebra.so
 AddHandler mod_xebra .xeb
 XebraServer_port "55000"
 XebraServer_host "localhost"
 LogLevel debug
 DirectoryIndex index.xeb
 <Files ~ "\.(ini|e|ecf)$">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Files>
 <Directory ~ "EIFGENs">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Directory>"

* Restart apache (if necessary, you need to stop and start instead of restart)
 sudo $APACHE2/bin/apachectl restart
* Make sure no other apache is running, e.g. run
 sudo apache2ctl stop
* Browse to http://localhost/test.xeb. You should see the Fail Whale and a message saying "Cannot connect to XebraServer. See apache error log."
* In order to be able to browse to the pre-created websites, copy the content of the folder xebra/httpd/htdocs to $APACHE2/htdocs.
* Hint: keep an eye on the apache error log tail -f $APACHE2/logs/error_log

===Compile the Xebra Translator===

 cd $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_translator/
 ec -config xebra_translator-voidunsafe.ecf  -target xebra_translator -c_compile -clean

===Run the Xebra Server===

* Open the file $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_server/config.ini and adapt translator, compiler, and webapps_root to your configuration.
* Compile the server
 cd $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_server
 ec -config xebra_server-voidunsafe.ecf -target xebra_server -c_compile -clean

* Open estudio in a terminal and open the project $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_server/xebra_server-voidunsafe.ecf
* Go to the Exceptions Handling dialog and disable DEVELOPER_EXCEPTION.
* Open the Execution Parameters dialog and set "config.ini -d 10" as argument.
* Run
* Browse to http://localhost/helloworld/hello.xeb. The server now translates, generates, compiles and finally runns the application.

==Windows with Apache 2.2.11==
===Checkout Xebra===
* Define $XEBRA_DEV and checkout xebra from https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/eiffelstudio/trunk/Src/framework/web/xebra/ to $XEBRA_DEV

===Setup Apache===
* Download apache httpd-2.2.11 windows binary from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
* Install (Choose Custom Installation and install Build Headers and Libraries as well)
* Copy [https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/eiffelstudio/trunk/Src/framework/web/xebra/c_projects/apache_mod_xebra_win/Debug/mod_xebra.so mod_xebra.so] to your Apache2.2\modules folder.
* Add the following lines to Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf:
 LoadModule xebra_module modules/mod_xebra.so
 AddHandler mod_xebra .xeb
 XebraServer_port "55000"
 XebraServer_host "localhost"
 LogLevel debug
 DirectoryIndex index.xeb
 <Files ~ "\.(ini|e|ecf)$">
  Order allow,deny
