This is the mobile visualisation service for the EU GridLab project

It transforms http-accessible images and makes the result available via http.

What you need
--------------------
- A web server (like apache)
- ImageMagick (for the conversion utility 'convert')
- wget
- gSOAP 2.7
- tcl (for tclsh)

Configuration
--------------------
The service needs a web server that is configured to make its output directory
available via http. For example, using apache2, in commonapache2.conf:

<VirtualHost host.org:17997>
        ServerAdmin admin@host.org
        DocumentRoot /home/gservices/mobile_viz_output
</VirtualHost>

<Directory /home/gservices/mobile_viz_output>
        Allow from all
</Directory>

Dont forget to add the corresponding Bind directive to apache2.conf.


The following environment variables are used to configure the service:

Env. variable                 Example
GRIDLAB_MVS_OUTPUTDIR         /home/gservices/mobile_viz_output  (note the missing last slash)
GRIDLAB_MVS_BASEURL           http://host.org:17997              (also, no slash)
GRIDLAB_MVS_CONVERTER         transf.tcl                         (if not given, it looks for it in the current dir)

A command line that might be handy for cleaning up the output directory:
find ../mobile_viz_output/ -atime +7 -exec rm {} \;
