THTTPD

[edit] Prerequisites

To complete this guide, the following is assumed:

You are running Oleg's firmware (1.9.2.7-6b or later)

You have harddisk partitions up and running with an extended filesystem mounted to /opt

You have installed the Ipkg package system.

You have configured your partitions to automount.

First, we need to install the ipkg package

/opt/bin/ipkg update
/opt/bin/ipkg install libstdc++ php-thttpd

Whilst you can store your web pages anywhere on the WL-HDD, for the purposes of this guide, the folder /opt/share/www will be used.

Lets make that folder

mkdir -p /opt/share/www

Now lets edit the configuration file for thttpd

nano /opt/etc/thttpd.conf

Change the contents of the file to the following

dir=/opt/share/www
port=81
user=nobody
nochroot
nosymlink
novhost
logfile=/opt/var/log/thttpd.log
pidfile=/opt/var/run/thttpd.pid

Save and exit nano

Ctrl + O
Ctrl + X

THTTPD needs a couple of folders creating to allow it to run, lets make them

mkdir -p /opt/var/log
mkdir -p /opt/var/run

Lets make a little test page so that we can check that the server is working

echo "Hello World" > /opt/share/www/index.htm

Reboot the WL-HDD

reboot

Your Webserver is now accessible on the LAN by typing in

http://192.168._._:81 (ip address of your WL-HDD with the port number 81)

You should see the text "Hello World" displayed. To make your webserver accessible from external computers, follow the THTTPD from WAN guide
