 +===== 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:rts2-mon-weather.png?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.homeip.net:8889/preview/images/2009/20090823/00004/|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.
