FloodServ Manual
1. Installing and configuring FloodServ
---------------------------------------
This section explains how to install and configure FloodServ. We
recommend that you read this section in full before trying to install
FloodServ.
If you have any problems NOT addressed in this or other documents,
please see the Support section for how to contact us for help.
1.1 General notes
-----------------
All commands and filenames are case sensitive. This means that
NeoStats, floodserv, and FLOODSERV are all different things. When
typing commands you should use the same case as provided in this
file or things will not work correctly.
1.2 Getting Started
-------------------
First, you need to uncompress FloodServ. To do this type the following:
tar xvfz FloodServ3.0.x.tar.gz
This will vary depending on the version you run of FloodServ. Change the
x in FloodServ3.0.x.tar.gz to match your filename e.g.
FloodServ3.0.0.tar.gz
For systems that don't run a new version of tar you need to do this:
gzip -d FloodServ3.0.x.tar.gz
tar xvf FloodServ3.0.x.tar
1.3 Running configure
---------------------
You must first run the configure script so that FloodServ can determine
your build environment.
To run configure, you must first change to the directory where you
uncompressed FloodServ. e.g.
cd ~/FloodServ3.0.0
Your prompt should look something like:
[user@host FloodServ3.0.0]
Now type:
./configure
The configure script will then check to see if all necessary programs to
run FloodServ are installed on your system.
Optional settings:
------------------
There are some options you can pass to configure if you wish.
Debugging:
Most users will never look at this option. It compiles FloodServ
with debugging turned on. I would only suggest using this if you
have problems and are about to fill out a bug form.
--enable-debug Enables Debugging
1.4 Compiling FloodServ
-----------------------
Ok, you should now be back at a shell prompt, type:
make
it will go through the source and compile it into an executable
binary file.
1.5 Installing FloodServ
------------------------
To install FloodServ type:
make install
This will create the necessary files, and copy them to the
installation directory.
