You will need <a href="http://tcl.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">Tcl</a> and <a href="http://swig.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">SWIG</a> installed and a C compiler installed. The system assumes you have Apache or a simular web server installed -- the configuration script creates a configuration fragment (for an HTTP/1.1 style Virtual Host) for an Apache httpd.conf file, but it should be possible to adapt this configuration fragment for another web server.</p> <p>Because the administration and rotation process needs to update files, it is recomended that the web server be setup with some sort of 'set uid' hack, such as cgiwrap or (better) Apache's suexec and that a specific user ID and group ID be set aside for the banner rotation web site.</p> <p>This package is released under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html" target="_blank">Gnu General Public License</a>.</p> <center> <table> <tr> <td><a href="http://tcl.sourceforge.net/"><img src="/images/PWRD75.png" align=TOP border=0 alt="Powered By Tcl Logo"></a></td> <td> <FONT SIZE=-3> Content and CGI Scripts (powered by Tcl) Copyright © 2001 Robert Heller.
