===== Prerequisites =====
  * Update your RTS2 source tree to the latest revision (e.g. 6216). 

  * Add to your rts2.ini the lines
<code bash>
 [xmlrpcd]
 page_prefix=
</code>

  * If not existent create in the root directory / of your system the directory named ''/images''.

  * Copy an example FITS file, preferably created with RTS2, to ''/images''.

  * Connect to the postgres database and add a username, password to the table ''users'', e.g.
<code bash>  insert into users values ('USERNAME', 'SECRETPASSWORD', NULL, 'name@example.com', 1);</code>
 
===== (Pre-)view the FITS images =====
{{ howto:preview.jpg?200|The preview seen in the browser.}}
  * Start the daemon interactively with <code>rts2-xmlrpcd  -i</code>
  * To preview the images enter the URL ''http://your.system.tld:8889/preview/images'' into a browser, (for an example see [[http://petr:test@bootes2.rts2.org:8889/preview/images/|Bootes2]]).
  * To view the images click on the thumbnail.

===== Security  =====  
''rts2-xmlrpcd'' maps a browser request, e.g. ''http://your.system.tld::8889/preview/'' to the root directory /
trying to display all but only files with the extension ''.fits''. That implies that the directory structure of the system and all FITS images therein are exposed to public view.
