## Post-installation tasks

### Configuring your webserver (Big Sister server only)

This only needs to be done on your Big Sister server. Currently the Big Sister start script `/etc/init.d/bigsister` does not check the availability and configuration of a webserver on the same system which is used to display any processed data.

In order to save you some time, each installation procedure leaves you with a `httpd.conf` snippet in the `/etc/bigsister` directory which is taylored with the paths and options you might have specified during the installation process. However, the Big Sister installation routine will not touch your web server configuration in any way. It relies on you to include this snippet into your standard `httpd.conf` by appending the line

    Include /etc/bigsister/httpd.conf

This will

- make the documents in the .../www directory available by the specified url

- execute the CGI scripts on demand
