- 1. How to test that the gateway is working
-
- Telnet to the host running the gateway at the port number
- that you used during installation, and press RETURN.
-
- Example:
-
- telnet gopher.upenn.edu 70
-
- You should see output like this:
-
- 0About this Internet Gopher Goph-TI-Gateway lam.dccs.upenn.edu 70
- 1About PennInfo M penninfo-srv.upenn.edu 9000 836 lam.dccs.upenn.edu 70

-
- .
- Connection closed by foreign host.
-
- Specifically, look for these things
- 1) "About this Internet Gopher"
- 2) the main menu of the local Techinfo server
- 3) keyword search items
- 4) World wide techinfo
- 5) World wide gopher
- 6) the last line has just a period on it
-
- If you don't get this output, read the DEBUGLOG file to see
- if there's a message that indicates the problem. If the
- DEBUGLOG doesn't exist, then create an empty one, make it
- owned by DAEMON, and try the test again. If the file is
- still empty, then check the spelling of the full filename
- of the gateway executable in /etc/inetd.conf. If that
- doesn't show what the problem is, check the inetd.conf file
- to make sure that you've got 3 items after the full
- filename of the executable.
-
- If all of the items show up except for #3 & #4, then the
- gateway was unable to contact the LOCALTI_SERVER at the
- LOCALTI_PORT and get the main menu. Check the spelling of
- the domain name of the LOCALTI_SERVER. Make sure that the
- TechInfo server is up.
-
- If it still doesn't work, send me email...
-
-
- 2. Statistics (optional)
-
- The logfile contains useful information. Once every month
- or so, it'd be nice to have a summary of the usage of the
- gateway.
-
- I've written a csh script, stats, which computes the total
- number of connections, and the number of UPENN and
- non-UPENN connections.
-
- Install the "stats" script somewhere, say
- /usr/local/bin/gopher-ti-gw-stats, and run it to make sure
- it works.
-
- Once it works, add a line to crontab. For example:
- 0 0 1 * * /usr/local/bin/gopher-ti-gw-stats /usr/local/logs/gopher-techinfo-gw | /usr/ucb/mail -s "Gopher-Techinfo GW Stats" root
- #
- # send the stats on the first of the month to root
- #
-
-
- 3. The DEBUGLOG file needs to be erased on a regular basis.
- I wrote a script, called cleanuplog, which mails the log
- file to someone who cares if there are FatalErrors in
- the log, and then removes it.
-
- Running this script once a month is probably often
- enough. Install the script. Since the script is
- normally silent, you should check it once in a while to
- make sure that it actually ran.
