Weatherdata

CGIs for adding and retrieving weatherdata, at this time temperature and humidity.

Database setup

Create database user weatherdata: createuser -U postgres -D -l -R -S --pwprompt weatherdata

Create the database and make the weatherdata user the owner: createdb -U postgres -E UTF8 -O weatherdata weatherdata

Add the data table to the database: psql -U weatherdata -f sql/database.sql weatherdata

Configuration

An optional make include named 'localconfig.mk' may be used to overwrite variables defined in 'cgiconfig.mk'. Possible configuration settings and their default settings are:

Database

• DATABASE_HOSTNAME: 127.0.0.1

• DATABASE_PORT: 5432

• DATABASE_USER: weatherdata

• DATABASE_PASSWORD: The password the weatherdata user is connecting to the database. This will end up in 'localconfig.mk' most likely.

• WWW_USER: The user that will own the installed files, defaults to www.
