Introduction
------------

  This application visualizes the contents of NetCDF files.
  It is run as a web server and the user accesses the NetCDF
  files using an ordinary web browser.

  ncweb is written in Python and is free software distributed 
  under the GNU General Public Licence.

Installing
----------

  Please refer to the INSTALL file.

Running ncweb without installing it
-----------------------------------

  Copy your NetCDF files to the ncweb directory, change to the ncweb 
  directory and type:

    ./start-ncweb.py

  The web server will take some time to start up (it is processing the
  NetCDF files at start-up). When you see output similar to the following 
  in the file server.log the server is ready:

    2005/09/12 10:10:06 HTTP INFO Serving HTTP on socket: ('', 8080)
  
  You can then access the webserver with your browser on:

    http://localhost:8080/

  where localhost should be the name of your machine (try localhost if
  you don't know it). 

  If you want the web server to run in production mode simply type:

    ./start-ncweb.py prod.cfg

  In production mode most output will go to a file called server.log.

Running ncweb after installing it
---------------------------------

  Go to a directory containing some NetCDF files you would like to present.
  Copy the dev.cfg and/or prod.cfg from the ncweb directory. Start your
  application:

    start-ncweb.py [prod.cfg|dev.cfg]
