34   <p>This program runs the naming service and provides a builtin webserver to
35   serve requests to the server application. The documentation details how to get

38   <p>The first stage is to download and install the server application. The
39   latest versions of all i-scream applications can be found at the following

44   Windows, Linux and FreeBSD).</p>
45   <p>The archive consists of only a few files and directories. The main file is

76   the error message should point to the cause.</p>
77   <h3>4. Setting up hosts</h3>
78 < <p>Hosts can be run on either unix (tested with Solaris, FreeBSD and some
79 < Linux distributions) or windows. Both are equally easy to setup.</p>

109   <p>Assuming data is displayed you have successfully setup the i-scream
110   central monitoring system. Well done!</p>

118   <p>Full instructions are available in the DBReporter documentation.</p>
119   <h3>7. Setting up the Web Interface</h3>
120   <p>The Web interface allows you to view various aspects of the i-scream
121 < central monitoring systems output. These include realtime viewing of data
121 > central monitoring system's output. These include realtime viewing of data
122   (much like Conient), links to the DBReporter above, and full displaying of
123   the alerts that can be generated by the server.</p>
124   <p>The archive contains a series of PHP scripts which should be placed on
125 < your PHP enabled webserver. The configuration files allow you to tailor
125 > your PHP enabled web server. The configuration files allow you to tailor
126   the setup to suit your needs.</p>
127   <p>Full instructions are available in the relevant documentation.</p>
128   <h3>8. Further</h3>
129   <p>You may decide to expand your setup to cover a larger network. For example, a
130 < distributed filter arrangement could cut down on the amount of network traffic
130 > distributed filter arrangement could cut down on the amount of traffic
131   being sent around the network. The server itself can be distributed to suit your
132   needs. You may wish to run the database section of the server on the same
133   machine as the database, while running the rest on another machine.</p>
134   <p>Some discussion about this is available in the server documentation.</p>
