USE
This program is a cgi script intended to be used as an interface for
changetrack, available from <http://changetrack.sourceforge.net/>.
It allows display of changetrack log files, sorting by date, size, and
filename. Files listed can also be made to only show what modifications
have been made since a specific date.
The httpd probabaly runs as nobody, so that user must be able to read
the log files for this to work. Consider the security implications of
this move.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This program is useless unless changetrack is installed. changeweb requires
Perl to be installed.
INSTALLATION
To install changeweb, copy it to the cgi-bin directory for your web server,
then ensure that it can be run by 'nobody', or whatever uid the server runs
as. Take note that changeweb assumes that the changetrack files are stored
in /var/lib/changetrack/, which is the default. A different location can be
selected by modifying the "$path = " line in changeweb.
The cgi-bin directory is likely /opt/apache/cgi-bin/ on Suns,
/usr/lib/cgi-bin on Debian, and /home/httpd/cgi-bin/ on other machines.
Consider the security implications of allowing anyone to see information
about the system configuration. Implementing a password for web-users of this
program may be a good idea.
TODO
* Make it work with one web server, and multiple monitored computers,
instead of requiring each monitored computer to run a web server.
GETTING CHANGEWEB/CHANGETRACK
Changetrack is available from <http://changetrack.sourceforge.net/>.
