I would like to ask your help with a couple misunderstandings I have had as I try to set up my PKS server 0.9.6 for HTTP accessibility on a Debian box (though I have very little experience with this OS). I initialized the PKS database with a .pgp-format keyring, so I have reason to believe the server is at least passively functional. Also, I installed and configured Apache 2 as my webserver, and have found that I can access the proper "OpenPGP Public Key Server Commands" webpage remotely, so I assume the webserver is set up more or less correctly. However, when I try to run PKS, following the instructions in the README, I run into problems: First, the file PREFIX/bin/pksd does not exist. In this directory, I have eight files prefixed with "db_" and also pgpsplit, pksclient, pksdctl, pks-mail.sh, pks-queue-run.sh. Perhaps due to the above, the command "PREFIX/bin/pks-queue-run.sh /home/white/pks/etc/pksd.conf" hangs indefinitely. I would much obliged if you would let me know if these commands are wrong or if I am missing something. Also, I assume the web-accessible page will produce the search results list page and submit input keys on its own; is this the case? The README implied specific setup was required, but I am not sure how to implement the "lookup" or "add" method functionality embedded in the example HTML file provided with the PKS installation. Any insight on setup or the web-side configuration would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. Dan White
