LMCE Web Service

The web service described on this page is used by the iPhone application [LmceRemote].

It is a ruby script (see source) run by the Apache web server.

There are a few dependencies that need to be installed first. It would be great to have them installed via debian packages but I had to go for a manual install via ruby gem.

  • rubygems
  • json
  • cgi
  • mysql

= Want to help ?

Help is welcome to make the installation of this webservice easier to end users. Topics to cover: - ruby dependencies - initial install - setting-up authentication in apache

Other Webservices

Both are being considered for this project too.
