Instructions

Requirement: a web server like apache2 is installed already. Assume that the directory for apache2 is /usr/local/apache2/ and the directory of APAC-code is ~/APAC-code.

Setup peer server:

$ cd ~/APAC-code/peerserver/bin
$ node pserver.js

Setup content server:

$ cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pw
$ sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

Generate resource files:

$ cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pw/image
$ node generate_hash.js
$ cp policy.txt ~/github/peerwebcode/peerserver/bin

Clear data in indexedDB:

$ indexedDB.deleteDatabase("peerweb")
