MATLAB Web Server

Directory Structure

MATLAB is distributed in compressed format on CD. The installation procedure moves the files to your hard disk, decompresses them, and installs them into your MATLAB root directory. The installation provides a version of the CGI client program matweb for all platforms, regardless of which platform matlabserver is licensed for. This allows your matweb client to run on a different machine and platform from your copy of matlabserver. The supported platforms are:

PC running Windows NT (win32)
Sun workstation running Solaris (sol2)
PC running Linux (glnx86)

In the directory structure shown below, replace the pathname component arch with the appropriate identifier for your platform.

After installation of the MATLAB Web Server, your MATLAB directory should include these additional files and subdirectories.

Table A-1: **<matlab>/webserver**
File	Purpose
`matlabsever.conf`	`matlabserver` options
`webboot`	Start `matlabserver` script
`webconf`	`matlabserver` configuration file script
`webdown`	Stop `matlabserver` script
`webstart`	`matlabserver` restart script
`webstat`	Report `matlabserver` status

Note: If you create a hosts.conf file to control which machines can access the MATLAB Web Server, you must place that file in this directory.

Table A-2: <matlab>/webserver/bin/*arch*
File	Purpose
`matlabserver`	The MATLAB Web Server binary
`matlabserver.exe`	The MATLAB Web Server binary (Windows NT)
`matweb`	MATLAB TCP/IP client of `matlabserver` (Solaris and Linux)
`matweb.exe`	MATLAB TCP/IP client of `matlabserver` (Windows NT)

You must also place a copy of the appropriate matweb executable and matweb.conf into the /cgi-bin aliased subdirectory of the HTTP server root directory.
