colplot can be used either directly from the command line or as a web accessible cgi script. In order to use colplot from a browser the /usr/share/colplot/site/ directly needs to be appropriately set up as an accessible DocumentRoot from your web-serer. Here's is an example configuration for adding an Alias stanz to an apache virtual server configuration. Add a stanza to your apache configuration that looks like this: Alias /colplot /usr/share/colplot/site AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AllowOverride None Options None Options +followsymlinks +execcgi = 2.3> Require all granted Order Allow,Deny Allow from all DirectoryIndex index.php You should then be able to access colplot from: http://localhost/colplot
