Additionally more components may be required, which may come up when one tries to run the startup script of the service (section "How to run the service"):
- XML::LibXML
- Config::General
- HTTP::Daemon
- Data::UUID
If the startup script still refuses to run then follow the error messages. They are of the form like below:
Code Block |
---|
Can't locate Data/UUID.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ... |
"cpan" the modules which aren't present e.g. here "cpan Data::UUID".
Installation:
Theoretically, the service can work with any kind of File Transfer protocol. For test purposes and limiting the large amount of possibilities we use GridFTP as a primary File Transfer Tool.

- Create the log Directory
Code Block mkdir /var/log/perfsonar (Create the log directory as is shown by daemon_logger.conf)
- Create a mysql database for FTMA service to interact with:
Code Block mysql -u $USER -p $PASS -e "create database ft_ma"
- Run the SQL Procedure(mysql) on the netlogger database to produce a secondary database.

How to run the Service:
Before running the service, we must have the database. So far we only created the database and did not copy any tables/contents. To do this we must have a file that performs sql functions of adding and filling tables. The file should be a part of the FTMA package retrieved via svn checkout and should be placed inside "FileTransfer/perfSONAR_PS-FileTransfer/contrib" directory. The file can used in the following manner (you might need to do sudo):
If mysql not started then start it:
Code Block |
---|
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
|
Load the mysql dump into a database:
Code Block |
---|
mysql -D ft_ma < mysql_backup
|
Once done do the following to start the service:
Code Block |
---|
* cd contrib * sh FT_MA_Startup.sh \--skip-input || \--help |
...
The service includes a client tool to do some preliminary testing. This tool is present inside the bin dir as well.
Code Block perl FT_client.pl
