RTS2 Wiki

This is an old revision of the document!

Prerequisites

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

Add to your rts2.ini the lines

 [xmlrpcd]
 page_prefix=

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.

  insert into users values ('USERNAME', 'SECRETPASSWORD', NULL, 'name@example.com', 1);

(Pre-)view the FITS images

Start the daemon interactively with
```
rts2-xmlrpcd  -i
```
To preview the images enter the URL http://your.system.tld:8889/preview/images into a browser, (for an example see 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.
