Hi,
is there perhaps an init.d script somewhere already in order to launch basexserver as a service on Debian?
So far it looks as though there isn't one in the Debian package, so I'm thinking of adding a line to rc.local to run it on startup.
Also, from what I gathered, basex is now only available in sid, is that correct? I installed it on squeeze by downloading the deb, there's just one dependency on java-wrappers that I needed to install by hand.
Thanks,
Manuel

no, not yet, but good idea. I filed an issue for that [1]

the current version is available in sid and, since yesterday, in testing. right, java-wrappers are the only dependency. libtagsoup-java might be of interest if you want to process non-wellformed HTML.
providing the latest version as squeeze-backport is a good idea as well (filed another issue [2]
Thanks, Alex

Hi Manuel,
thanks for your input; at times, there were some online references to init.d scripts for BaseX; maybe they could be of interest here?

Hi,
Thanks for the fast answers!
Yes, that init.d script looks like what I was looking for. If I understand correctly now, the data is going to be stored in the BaseXData directory of the user who launched the service?
Another thing that came to mind: is there perhaps a way by which basexserver could be bound only to the loopback address (or to some configured IP address)? I remember this being possible in e.g. mysql, and it is a quite nice way of securing the server (since someone could arguably try to brute-force access if knowing the port on the machine, or using the default port). Of course an alternative is to set-up a rule in iptables.
Also, I haven't quite found yet where the username and password are being configured - do I need to create a configuration file for this?
Some additional ideas for the Debian package: - have it set-up a basex user, which is the default user running basex-server - set the data directory for that server to be e.g. in /var/lib/basex, to be more in line with Debian's default behavior
Thanks,
Manuel

Manuel: I wrote a while ago a note around deploying BaseX on an Amazon EC2 Linux instance. This includes a rudimentary init.d script. See https://docs.google.com/a/metadatatechnology.com/document/d/1uuqeL7n73MC6tAF... This might be helpful to your Debian use case. best Pascal
