  • Standard Server
    Generic web server, perhaps for the company home pages, with some useful modules added.

    1. Create a virtual server using the Generic server type.

    2. Add and configure some additional modules of your choice. Perhaps:

      Pike tag
      This module can be used for advanced applications, allowing the use of pike code in the HTML/RXML pages. But be careful with the the security considerations.

    3. Configure the file system module.

      Filesystem
      Search path: Fill in the location, in the computers file system, where the HTML pages that should be used for the site will be located.

      Example: /usr/www/company_name/

    4. Configure the Server variables.

      • Configure a port.
        The default port for web servers using the HTTP protocol is 80 and this is probably the port you want to use for a public information server.

    5. Click Save to save the server configuration on disk. The server will also try opening the port. You will be asked if the chosen URL for the site is correct. If you want to use another port than 80, you probably need to alter this.

      Note: Ports below 1024 can only be used if the server is run, or at least started, as root.
