===So you want to have your own copies of the binaries and your own hgwdev-user.cse.ucsc.edu browser?  Here is a walkthrough:===

====Request a "virtual space" from the cluster-admins:==== 
 
This includes, among other things, adding a block to the file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
 
<VirtualHost 128.114.50.189>
  ServerName hgwdev-kayla.cse.ucsc.edu
  ServerAlias hgwdev-kayla
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin-kayla/"
</VirtualHost>
 
 
====Populate my /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin-kayla/ directory for the first time by doing the following:====
 
From my home directory on hgwdev /cluster/home/kayla I type the following things:
 
[kayla@hgwdev ~]$cd kent
[kayla@hgwdev ~/kent]$ cvsup
[kayla@hgwdev ~/kent]$ cd src
[kayla@hgwdev src]$ make libs
[kayla@hgwdev src]$ cd hg
[kayla@hgwdev hg]$ make cgi
[kayla@hgwdev hg]$ cd makeDb/trackDb
[kayla@hgwdev trackDb]$ make update
 
I now have my own compiled version of the cgis. 
 
 
====Edit my /usr/local/apache.cgi-bin-kayla/hg.conf:====
 
*You can copy this file from another user, but make sure to replace their name with your name in the appropriate (4) places. 
*Pay attention to the following lines (they will need to be edited or added):
central.host=localhost
central.domain=hgwdev-kayla.cse.ucsc.edu
central.cookie=hguid.hgwdev-kayla
backupcentral.domain=hgwdev-kayla.ucsc.edu
*Also play with the line:
browser.background=/images/floret.jpg to change what background your browser displays. 
*here is a generic [image:floret.jpg] file you can download and edit.
 
====Keep it current:====
 
Here is a script (makeBinaries.csh) that you can copy and paste into your ~kayla/bin directory to make your binaries every night:
 
#!/bin/tcsh
if ($HOST != hgwdev) then
  echo "\n  this must be run from hgwdev!\n"
endif
cd ~/kent/src
make clean > dev/null
cd ~/kent
/cluster/bin/scripts/cvsup | mail -s 'CVS update report on kent tree' kayla
cd ~/kent/src
make libs
cd ~/kent/src/hg
make cgi
cd ~/kent/src/hg/makeDb/trackDb
make update
 
====Automate it:====
 
Set up a cronjob:
