Method and system for automatically configuring a client-server network

A system for automatically configuring a client-server network to provide a service to a client in communication with the system, wherein the system comprises:

• an interactive server having a system configuration file and a server daemon, the system configuration file being used to make a service available to the client through the server daemon,
• a database server in communication with said interactive server, the database server having a program to generate executable and transferable tasks that are used to configure the system configuration file of said interactive server to make the service available to the client,
• a relay network for selectably relaying communications between said interactive server the database server, and
• whereby said interactive server communicates with said database server to obtain the tasks to configure the configuration system file in order to make the service available to the client as desired.

A system for automatically configuring a client-server network to provide a service to a client in communication with the system, wherein the system comprises:

• a plurality of discrete interactive servers, each interactive server having a system configuration file and a server daemon, the system configuration file being used to make a service available to the client through the server daemon,
• a plurality of discrete database servers in communication with one or more of said interactive servers, each database server having a program to generate executable and transferable tasks that are used to configure the system configuration file of said interactive server to make the service available to the client,
• a relay network for selectably relaying communications between and among one or more of the interactive servers and the database server, and
• whereby each of the interactive servers selectively communicate with one or more of the database servers to obtain the tasks to configure the configuration system file in order to make the service available to the client as desired.

A system for automatically configuring a server daemon in a client-server network for delivering a service to a client, the system comprising:

• an interactive server having a server daemon for making a service available to a client and having an operating system, said server daemon being programmed to automatically locate, manipulate and configure said predetermined system configuration file to make the service available to the client relative to account information associated with the client,
• an external database server to releasably retain the account information, said database server having a task program to generate executable and transferable tasks for use in making the service available to the client, said tasks being generated based upon the account information,
• a relay serve having a communications daemon to enable said interactive server to selectably contact and interact with said database server to receive the tasks therefrom, wherein the client is in communication with the interactive server through said relay network to access the service, and said communications daemon having a given protocol for communicating with components in and external to said system;
• a controller to enable the client to selectably add, remove, or modify the service available from said server daemon,
• whereby said interactive server is in a given first network and said database server is in the same or a second network, wherein said database server transmits the tasks to said interactive server through the relay network after being contacted by said interactive server, such that said server daemon will locate and configure said predetermined configuration files, as necessary, relative to the tasks in order to setup, add or modify the service available to the client.
