Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Building a Unix Server from Scratch? Post 302386715 by Celtic_Monkey on Wednesday 13th of January 2010 09:24:18 AM

Not sure i quite understand the question. Can you elaborate a bit more?

You don't need to understand the "Core of Unix" to be able to build a server. The installation process is very much interactive / automated on most of the installs your likely to come across these days - there are exceptions though when it comes to distros like gentoo / crux linux etc.

for the most part all you need to do these days is decide on a disk layout for your OS and the packages you'd like the installer to install for you.

if your just messing about as a learning process - (certainly in my experience) you'll end up installing the entire application suite and playing around with any configuration tools that are provided as part of the install.

this will give you a baseline for future installs as you'll then be able to learn how to install / configure packages / patches etc ...

only then will you want to rebuild the server installing only the things that you require.

NAME
SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI - CGI based SOAP server SYNOPSIS
use MyServer::TestService::TestPort; my $server = MyServer::TestService::TestPort->new({ dispatch_to => 'main', transport_class => 'SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI', # optional, default }); $server->handle(); USAGE
To use SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI efficiently, you should first create a server interface using wsdl2perl. SOAP::WSDL::Server dispatches all calls to appropriately named methods in the class or object set via "dispatch_to". See the generated server class on details. DESCRIPTION
Lightweight CGI based SOAP server. SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI does not provide the fancier things of CGI handling, like URL parsing, parameter extraction or the like, but provides a basic SOAP server using SOAP::WSDL::Server. METHODS
