*** Current version is: 0.85 Beta ***

• Documentation is nonexistant. However, the source code has been commented as much as possible, and should not be difficult to understand.
• We assume that the Perl binary is located in /usr/bin/perl.
• The configuration files passfile.txt (accounts and passwords), wpmd.conf (daemon configuration) and labs_defs.txt(segments definition) are already also web-configurable. However, should you need/want to hand-edit them, their respective syntaxes are:
  • labs_defs.txt - the segment definitions. The format is:
    <IP>:<seg>
    <IP>:<seg>
    (IP address:segment it belongs to)
  • passfile.txt - the password and access levels. It comes with a predetermined user called wpm, password wpm, access level 0. You are encouraged to create a new user with access level 0, and delete its account (or at least, change its password). This can be done with the supplied web interface.
  • wpmd.conf - The WPM daemon configuration. All pertinent information is contained (commented) in the same file. General format is:
    
    • Lines started with # are commentaries
    • All other lines should be in the format:
      <option> = <value>
• Other files' placement:
  Although this files will be automatically copied to their destination directories by the installation program, you may want/need to place them in their places by hand. If that's the case,
  • wpm.html, wpm-logo.gif should be in your web server's document hierarchy. (/home/httpd/html in a RedHat Linux system)
  • *.cgi should be placed in your web server's cgi-bin directory (/home/httpd/cgi-bin in a RedHat Linux System), preferrably in a subdirectory called proxymgr. Should you choose any directory other than cgi-bin/proxymgr, you should reflect the changes in proxy.html.
  • labs_defs.txt, passfile.txt, wpmd.conf, head.html should be in the same directory as the CGIs.
  • wpmd.pl should be anywhere you want, you only have to specify the route to wpmd.conf when starting it up. It should be started automatically at bootup.
• passfile.txt should be writable by the user you run your web server with (usually nobody - UID 99 on Linux RedHat systems). You can, however, change it to make it impossible for someone to modify it from wpm. You can also give the same user rights to modify wpmd.conf and labs_defs.txt, for future versions, although it is still not implemented.

You are warned: This program is still considered to be in Beta quality - Still under developement. It may not be safe, it may not be stable, it may not even work.
