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:
