| - | Due to the lack of Large File support (>2Gb) in the built in thttpd installation on my Linkstation (LS2) I decided to try [http://lighttpd.net Lighttpd] instead.
| |
| - | Below is the steps I used to compile and install Lighttpd on my Linkstation.
| |
| | | | |
| - | Download and install the development tools
| |
| - | [http://linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=Precompiled_C_development_environment%2C_running_on_the_LS#MIPSel Precompiled C Development Environment]
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Download the Lighttpd source code and untar it to a directory to do the compiling in.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | wget http://lighttpd.net/download/lighttpd-1.4.12.tar.gz
| |
| - | mkdir lighttpd
| |
| - | cd lighttpd
| |
| - | tar xzvf ../lighttpd-1.4.12.tar.gz
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The Lighttpd web site states that there are additional libraries needed. However they do not appear to be needed if you do not need some of the modules. See [http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/OptionalLibraries Optional Libraries]
| |
| - | The libraries I was missing are "libpcre" and "libz".
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Configure the Compilation package to install the files to the /usr/local directory and compile the program.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | ./configure
| |
| - | make
| |
| - | make install
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Copy the full config file to the right directory ...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | mkdir /etc/lighttpd/
| |
| - | cp doc/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Write a simple test config file (/tmp/lighttpd.conf)...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | server.document-root = "/www/"
| |
| - | server.port = 3000
| |
| - | mimetype.assign = (
| |
| - | ".html" => "text/html",
| |
| - | ".txt" => "text/plain",
| |
| - | ".jpg" => "image/jpeg",
| |
| - | ".png" => "image/png"
| |
| - | )
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Check the simple test config file...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -t -f /tmp/lighttpd.conf
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | If all is well, Run the simple test config...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /tmp/lighttpd.conf
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | look at ... the page in web browser by pointing your web browser to...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | http://serverIP:3000/
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Press CTRL^C to terminate the process...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Next you need to Edit the full config file.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | NOTE:-If you do not have "libpcre" during the compile then you need to comment out the following lines in the .conf file...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | #$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.pdf$" {
| |
| - | # server.range-requests = "disable"
| |
| - | #}
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Check the full config and then test it...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -t -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
| |
| - |
| |
| - | /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Assuming all is well then you can create a startup process to automatically run the daemon at startup.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <pre>
| |
| - | echo "/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" > /etc/init.d/lighttpd
| |
| - | chmod +x /etc/init.d/lighttpd
| |
| - |
| |
| - | cd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/
| |
| - | ln -s ../init.d/lighttpd S90lighttpd
| |
| - | cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/
| |
| - | ln -s ../init.d/lighttpd K90lighttpd
| |
| - | cd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/
| |
| - | ln -s ../init.d/lighttpd K90lighttpd
| |
| - | </pre>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | All Done! The server can now serve Large Files.
| |
| - | I hope this is usefull to someone.
