[CWB] CQi / cqpserver questions

[Jörg Knappen]

Hallo,

I want to set up a CQI server for a corpus of ours. I have found that  
cqpserver coming
with cwpweb can do this for me.

I have found the "CQPserver quick installation notes" telling me how  
to write an init file
for cqpserver. This document tells me to run cqpserver in a terminal  
window which is OK for
testing but not for production. I will need a CQI server started as a  
linux service running all the
time in the background. How can I achieve this?

I went on testing by doing

telnet localhost 4877

to connect with the CQI server, but all tries failed with the rather  
boring error message from the cqpserver:
"Connection refused". Is the CQi protocol documented somewhere? Are  
there better testing methods that the CQi server is doing what is  
should do?

P.S. Versions and diagnostics:

cqpserver -v
