Installation with the eibread-cgi backend:

The installation of the CometVisu is very simple. You only need to follow a few simple steps:

  1. Install a web server and (optional but recommended) PHP.

    When you use the WireGate, this is already done for you.

  2. Install the backend, i.e. the dynamic interface to the web server that is connecting to the KNX bus. Detailed instructions are given on the web page at: http://cometvisu.de/wiki/CometVisu/Installation/Backend/en

    When you use the WireGate, it should be already installed for you.

    When you use any other x86 based debian system, you can get the package out of the WireGate repository. It is contained in the package "eibd-clients" at http://repo.wiregate.de/wiregate/pool/wiregate-1.0/main/e/

  3. Copy the directroy "release" on your web server in the web root.

    When you use the WireGate, the directroy /var/www/visu_release/ might be a good choice; in the following steps it's assumed that this directroy is used.

    Please make sure that the file permissions (mode) are always kept! When you use the zip version of the archive this should have already happened, when you use the tar.gz version, please unpack it with the parameter "p", like tar -xvpf CometVisu-releaseversion.tar.gz

  4. When the permissions were not set correctly or when you just want to be sure, please fix them by calling:

    chmod -R a+w /var/www/visu_release/config
    

    It will give everyone write permissions for the config files - so it's probably too permissive for a shared server, but assuming the typical usage of the WireGate it should be fine.
