STEALTH SERVER: V3.0

System Requirements
Perl 5 with sockets library installed
Apache Web Server
Preliminaries
Determine the path to PERL 5 on your web
server host. Note that some web hosting companies run both PERL 4 and PERL 5.
Make ABSOLUTELY sure you are not setting this up under PERL 4. Ask your
administrator if you are not sure.
If you need to review or learn the basics of
CGI and Perl check out the superscripts tutorial
archives.
Download the tarfile for this program and
save it to your desktop.
Unpack the tar archive on your desktop using a
program that unpacks UNIX TAR ARCHIVES. If you don't have such a program then download
WINZIP FREE from SHAREWARE.COM.
After you have unpacked the TAR archive you
will have a collection of folders and files on your desktop. Now you have to do some
basic editing of each of these files (or at least some of them). Use a text editor
such as wordpad, notepad, BBEdit, simpletext, or teachtext to edit the files. These
are NOT WORD PROCESSOR DOCUMENTS they are just simple TEXT files so don't save them as
word processor documents or save them with extentions such as .txt or they will NOT WORK.
Note that there may be a some files inside of folders which are "blank".
This is normal.
Preparing the CGI scripts
Define Path To PERL 5
The first step is to open up each and every
file that has a .cgi extention and edit line number one of each script. Each of the
cgi scripts is written in perl 5. For your scripts to run they must know where perl 5 is
installed on your web server. The path to perl 5 is defined to a cgi script in the first
line of the file. In each of the cgi scripts the first line of code looks something like
this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
If the path to perl 5 on your web server is
different from /usr/bin/perl you must edit the first line of each cgi script to reflect
the correct path. If the path to perl 5 is the same no changes are necessary. If you do
not know the path to perl 5 ask the webmaster or system administrator at your server site.
Configure the stealth .shtml files
index.shtml, webpage.shtml
You will have to setup one cgi script and
.shtml page per mirrored webpage. This script isn't really meant to mirror an entire
site. It was more or less developerd tomrror specific content pages. Edit the
SSI tag inside each .shtml page to point to the appropriate .cgi script
<!--#EXEC
CGI="stealth.cgi" -->
Install the script AS IS first BEFORE you try
mirroring any other webpage. Watch the slashes and make sure you do this EXACTLY
right or it won't work. Let's explain the example of mirroring the CPAN Perl Modules
List.
The url for the actual page is http://www.perl.org/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html
Within the stealth.cgi script you will need
to set 3 variables based on this URLl They are best explained as follows
$remote="www.cpan.org";
$root = "http://www.cpan.org/";
$url="modules/00modlist.long.html";
$remote is simply the domain name of the host
(note that does NOT include http://)
$root is just http://$remote/
(note the use of the trailing slash
$url is the remaining part of the FULL url
after the domain name /(slash)
File Locations
Upload your whatever.shtml pages wherever you
want. Just make sure the SSI call <!--#EXEC CGI="stealth.cgi" --> or <!--#EXEC
CGI="/cgi-bin/stealth/stealth.cgi" --> or whatever matches up correctly.
File Access Permissions
Set stealth.cgi to 755
