How to install shttpd

shttpd comes with NO WARRANTY.

System requirements

shttpd works only under UNIX.

Running regression tests requires user accounts shttp and shttplog.

Installation

Download the shttpd package. The most recent shttpd package is 0.53.

Unpack the shttpd package:

gunzip shttpd.tar
tar -xf shttpd.tar
cd shttpd

Compile the shttpd programs:

make

As root, run some tests. The tests assume the existence of the accounts shttp and shttplog, for running and logging output from shttpd daemons, respectively. Create these accounts now, or skip the tests. Normally, the tests produce no output:

make test

If the tests fail, manually compare their output with the expected results:

./rts > rts.out
diff rts.out rts.exp

As root, install the shttpd programs under /usr/local/shttpd:

make setup check

Report successful installation:
