<h3>Running the sample applictions</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>We are currently using the "Helper Application" approach to
|
||
|
|
automatically launch the PyMOL HTTP server from a web browser. This
|
||
|
|
approach works reliably with Internet Explorer and Firefox, but it
|
||
|
|
does not work well with Safari due to (insurmountable?) security
|
||
|
|
restrictions built into that browser. Therefore, if using Mac OS X,
|
||
|
|
we recommend using FireFox instead of Safari.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The sample links to <a href="pwg.html" target="_blank">PWG
|
||
|
|
files</a> should cause PyMOL to launch on your desktop. The first
|
||
|
|
time you click on these links, your browser will ask how it should
|
||
|
|
handle this file type. You must select THE EXACT COPY OF PYMOL
|
||
|
|
INCLUDED WITH THIS DELIVERABLE as the helper application for .pwg
|
||
|
|
files in order to get PyMOL to launch with the Web Services interface.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, if you select another copy of PyMOL, then PyMOL may indeed
|
||
|
|
launch, but the sample applications will fail to work.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For each sample application, a new tab (or new page, depending on
|
||
|
|
how you have your browser set up) will open explaining how this sample
|
||
|
|
application works.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Each page consists of some explanatory text and links that will
|
||
|
|
cause PyMOL to respond: perhaps loading a protein, highlighting an
|
||
|
|
active site, or aligning multiple proteins and orienting the view.
|
||
|
|
Don't forget to click on the "view page source" link at the top of
|
||
|
|
each sample application page.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The main index file with sample application links is located at</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>./modules/web/examples/index.html</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are reading this file from within a browser, then you may
|
||
|
|
<a href="../index.html">return to it now</a> in order to try the sample
|
||
|
|
applications.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>However, if for some reason you are reading this file from a text
|
||
|
|
editor, then to run the demonstration applications, you can either
|
||
|
|
open the above file directly inside a browser or start a local web
|
||
|
|
server which will mimic the role of your remote enterprise web server
|
||
|
|
in delivering that file to your browser.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A simple python script with an HTTP server (justhttpd.py) is
|
||
|
|
included for this purpose, and it will automatically open up a web
|
||
|
|
browser pointing at the server it launches.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre># from within the PyMOL folder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd ./modules/web/examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# then
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
python justhttpd.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# or, if python is not handy, you can use PyMOL as a command-line Python interpreter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
../../../../pymol -qc justhttpd.py
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This will start a web browser that will automatically load the index.html file.</p>
