send result files to a personal server

[karmacoma]

Hi,

I’m not very familiar with web hosting and php, and I haven’t figured out how to send result files (not audio/video recordings, just spreadsheets) to a specified personal server. Could you provide me a short example or codes? Thank you!

Best,
Christy

Hi Christy,

By default the results are saved on the server that hosts the experiment, and there is no built-in option to redirect where they are sent. If you are developing your experiment on the Ibex Farm or the PCIbex Farm, the results will be saved there.

If you have access to a personal server, you can host your experiment there as a standalone. To do so, you must first download a full standalone Ibex experiment: you can use the one here https://github.com/penncontroller/ibex
Replace its content with your own experiment’s, notably your experiment’s script files in data_includes and your CSV tables in chunk_includes—note that with a standalone experiment, you need to place the images/audios/videos in www instead of chunk_includes

Then follow the instructions from the Ibex documentation to set up a CGI experiment: https://github.com/addrummond/ibex/blob/master/docs/manual.md#step-by-step-cgi (the webspr directory refers to your full experiment’s folder structure that you downloaded and edited as mentioned just above)

You results will be saved in the results subfolder of your experiment’s directory on your server

Let me know if you have questions
