When running in
INET mode, using tlink
or the internal
HTTP server, specifies the port(s)
which
will be monitored. by the MiniVend server. Default is 7786>
To use the internal
HTTP server (perhaps only for password-protected
queries), you can map a catalog to a port. If you had three catalogs
running on the server www.minivend.com, named simple, sample
, and search, you might have in the directive:
TcpMap 7786 - 7787 simple 7788 sample 7789 search
NOTE: To map large numbers of ports, you can use the <<MARKER here document notation in minivend.cfg.
With this in effect, the internal HTTP server would map the following addresses:
http://www.minivend.com:7786 mv_admin http://www.minivend.com:7787 simple http://www.minivend.com:7788 sample http://www.minivend.com:7789 search
NOTE: This does not pertain to the use of tlink
, which still relies on the
CGI
SCRIPT_PATH.
To enable this, the
SCRIPT_PATH aliases /simple, /sample, etc. must be set
in the Catalog
directive. This would look like:
Catalog simple /home/minivend/catalogs/simple /cgi-bin/simple /simple
