Installations

There are two ways to install Xebra:

  • Automatic
    • A script for Ubuntu 9.04 that sets up xebra and also installs apache
    • A Windows Installer that contains xebra and apache and sets it up
  • Manual (Step-by-step guide)
    • Ubuntu 9.04 with Apache
    • Windows with Apache
    • Windows with IIS7

A few notes

  • All of xebra is compiled with the -experiment option. We haven't tested to compile anything in non-experimental mode.
  • Currently (rev 80407), for all types of installation you have to adapt a files in ISE_LIBRARY to make it work since there is a bug in the eiffel argument parser library: In the class ISE_EIFFEL/experimental/library/argument_parser/parsers/argument_base_parser.e in the feature arguments: ARRAY [STRING] replace the line 
create Result.make (1, l_result.count)

with 

create Result.make_filled ("", 1, l_result.count)

Ubuntu Installation Script

Information.png Note: This script was tested with Xebra revision 80408, EiffelStudio 6.5.8.294 and Ubuntu 9.04

Run this script (the current revision): https://svn.eiffel.com/eiffelstudio/trunk/Src/framework/web/xebra/tools/scripts/linux/install_xebra_ubuntu.sh

The script expects $XEBRA_DEV, $ISE_EIFFEL and $ISE_LIBRARY to be set. It uses svn, wget and vim. Also make sure you add the eiffelstudio bin folder to your PATH.

The script will checkout xebra to $XEBRA_DEV, compile the server and translator, download, install and configure apache to $XEBRA_DEV/apache. Apache will be configured to listen on port 55000 (instead of 80) in order to not interfere with an already installed http server. After the script was successfully run you need to set $XEBRA_LIBRARY to $XEBRA_DEV/library.

To test you installation run 

$XEBRA_DEV/bin/launch_apache.sh
$XEBRA_DEV/bin/launch_server.sh

and then browse to 

http://localhost:55000/helloworld

Windows Installer (NEW)

Information.png Note: This installer was tested with Xebra revision 80407, EiffelStudio 6.5.8.294, on Windows XP SP2


There is a windows installer available for revision 80396 at https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/eiffelstudio/trunk/Src/framework/web/xebra/tools/installer/win/innosetup/output/setup.exe

It was tested with Eiffel Studio Eiffel65_gpl_80294-windows.msi and Windows XP SP2.

Manual Installation

This guide expects Eiffel Studio to be installed to $ISE_EIFFEL and the source to be checked out to $EIFFEL_SRC (only the folder 'framework' is needed).


Checkout Xebra

Install HTTP Server

Ubuntu 9.04 with Apache 2.2.11

Note:

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


  • Download apache unix source from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
  • Extract
  • Define $APACHE2 where you want to install apache, e.g. to $XEBRA_DEV/apache
  • Run the following commands in the extracted folder:
CFLAGS="-ggdb"
./configure --prefix=$APACHE2
make
make install
  • Compile the module by running
cd $XEBRA_DEV/c_projects/apache_mod_xebra
$APACHE2/bin/apxs -c mod_xebra.c mod_xebra.h
  • Install the module to apache by running
$APACHE2/bin/apxs -i mod_xebra.la
  • Add the following lines to $APACHE2/conf/httpd.conf:
#Xebra Module
LoadModule xebra_module modules/mod_xebra.so
 
 <IfModule xebra_module>
  AddHandler mod_xebra .xeb
  AddHandler mod_xebra .xrpc
  XebraServer_port 55001
  XebraServer_host "127.0.0.1"
  XebraServer_max_upload_size 10000000
  XebraServer_upload_path "/tmp"
  DirectoryIndex index.xeb
 <Files ~ "\.(ini|e|ecf)$">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Files>
 <Directory ~ "EIFGENs">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Directory>
</IfModule>
  • Also in httpd.conf, change DocumentRoot to {path to xebra}\www and don't forget the directory options below the line # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
  • Create the directory /tmp or choose another temp upload directory.
  • Restart apache
$APACHE2/bin/apachectl restart
  • Browse to http://localhost/test.xeb. You should see a message saying Cannot connect to XebraServer. See apache error log.
  • Hint: keep an eye on the apache error log 
tail -f $APACHE2/logs/error_log

Windows with Apache 2.2.11

Note

  • If mod_xebra.so was compiled with VS2008, it has a delay-load dependency on the Visual C++ 9.0 debug runtime library, msvcr90d.dll. This dll comes with Visual Studio 2008 C++ including the free Visual Studio 2008 C++ Express edition. This file can be copied in to the System32 directory. If this DLL is not found you will get an Apache error Cannot load C:/Xebra/httpd/modules/mod_xebra.so into server: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.


  • Download apache windows binary from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
  • Install (Choose Custom Installation and install Build Headers and Libraries as well)
  • Copy $XEBRA_DEV/c_projects/apache_mod_xebra/mod_xebra.so to your Apache2.2\modules folder.
    • Note: If you use a newer version of apache than 2.2.11 please compile mod_xebra yourself to avoid any possible errors, see Xebra Apache Module Windows.
  • Add the following lines to Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf:
#Xebra Module
LoadModule xebra_module modules/mod_xebra.so
 
 <IfModule xebra_module>
  AddHandler mod_xebra .xeb
  AddHandler mod_xebra .xrpc
  XebraServer_port 55001
  XebraServer_host "127.0.0.1"
  XebraServer_max_upload_size 10000000
  XebraServer_upload_path "c:\tmp"
  DirectoryIndex index.xeb
 <Files ~ "\.(ini|e|ecf)$">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Files>
 <Directory ~ "EIFGENs">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Directory>
</IfModule>
  • Also in httpd.conf, change DocumentRoot to {path to xebra}\www and don't forget the directory options below the line # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
  • Create the directory c:\tmp or choose another temp upload directory.
  • Restart Apache
  • Browse to http://localhost/test.xeb. You should see the a message saying Cannot connect to XebraServer. See apache error log.

Windows with IIS7

  • Open %XEBRA_DEV%\c_projects\iis_xebra_handler\XebraEventSourceInstaller\XebraEventSourceInstaller.sln in VS2008
  • Compile and run (This will install the XebraHandler source to the Windows Event Log. This cannot be performed by the handler because it lacks permissions.)
  • (Optional) Open %XEBRA_DEV%\c_projects\iis_xebra_handler\Xebra.sln in VS2008 and compile
  • Create a new site in IIS and point it to %XEBRA_DEV%\www
  • Copy %XEBRA_DEV%\c_projects\iis_xebra_handler\website\web.config to %XEBRA_DEV%\www
  • Copy %XEBRA_DEV%\c_projects\iis_xebra_handler\website\bin to %XEBRA_DEV%\www

Mac OS X with Apache

Note:

  • If you're using the version of EiffelStudio from MacPorts, environment variables must be set within the startup script. /Applications/MacPorts/Eiffel64/EiffelStudio/Contents/Resources/EiffelLauncher
  • Save yourself a ton of hassle and just sudo chmod -R 777 * both the $ISE_EIFFEL and $EIFFEL_SRC directories.
  • Get Apache V2 from Mac Ports
 sudo port install apache2
  • Copy $XEBRA_DEV/www/* to /opt/local/apache2/htdocs
  • Compile the module by running
cd $XEBRA_DEV/c_projects/apache_mod_xebra
sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -c -Wc,-ggdb -I$ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/include mod_xebra.c mod_xebra.h
  • Install the module to apache by running
sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -i mod_xebra.la
  • Prepare to edit the protected httpd.conf file by running the command:
 sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit
 Within TextEdit, which now is running under sudo, open /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
  • Add the following lines to /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
#Xebra Module
LoadModule xebra_module modules/mod_xebra.so
 
 <IfModule xebra_module>
  AddHandler mod_xebra .xeb
  AddHandler mod_xebra .xrpc
  XebraServer_port 55001
  XebraServer_host "127.0.0.1"
  XebraServer_max_upload_size 10000000
  XebraServer_upload_path "/tmp"
  DirectoryIndex index.xeb
 <Files ~ "\.(ini|e|ecf)$">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Files>
 <Directory ~ "EIFGENs">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
 </Directory>
</IfModule>
  • Also in httpd.conf, change DocumentRoot to {path to xebra}\www and don't forget the directory options below the line # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
  • Create the directory /tmp or choose another temp upload directory.
  • The default MacPorts apache install will listen on port 80
  • Restart apache 
sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart
  • Browse to http://localhost/test.xeb. You should see a message saying "Cannot connect to XebraServer. See apache error log."
  • Hint: keep an eye on the apache error log 
tail -f $APACHE2/logs/error_log

Compile the Translator and Server

  • First we need to compile the xebra precompile library:

Linux 

ec -experiment -config $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/library/xebra_precompile/xebra_precompile.ecf -target xebra_precompile -c_compile -clean -precompile -project_path $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/library/xebra_precompile

Windows 

ec -experiment -config %XEBRA_DEV%\eiffel_projects\library\xebra_precompile\xebra_precompile.ecf -target xebra_precompile -c_compile -clean -precompile -project_path %XEBRA_DEV%\eiffel_projects\library\xebra_precompile


  • Then run:

Linux 

ec -experiment -config $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_translator/xebra_translator.ecf -target xebra_translator -c_compile -clean -finalize -project_path $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_translator
 
ec -experiment -config $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_server/xebra_server.ecf -target xebra_server -c_compile -clean -finalize -project_path $XEBRA_DEV/eiffel_projects/xebra_server

Windows 

ec -experiment -config %XEBRA_DEV%\eiffel_projects\xebra_translator\xebra_translator.ecf -target xebra_translator -c_compile -clean -finalize -project_path %XEBRA_DEV%\eiffel_projects\xebra_translator
 
ec -experiment -config %XEBRA_DEV%\eiffel_projects\xebra_server\xebra_server.ecf -target xebra_server -c_compile -clean -finalize -project_path %XEBRA_DEV%\eiffel_projects\xebra_server

Run the Xebra Server

See Server Administration for how to run the server.
