{{DISPLAYTITLE:mini_httpd}}
[http://acme.com/software/mini_httpd/ mini_httpd] is a small HTTP server. Its performance is not great, but for low or medium traffic sites it's quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server.

= Setup =

Preparing home directory
{{cmd|mkdir /www
chown minihttpd /www}}

Before writing your configuration perhaps you may wish to backup original configuration file
{{cmd|mv /etc/mini_httpd/mini_httpd.conf /etc/mini_httpd/mini_httpd.conf.orig}}

Creating mini_httpd configuration file
{{cmd|vi /etc/mini_httpd/mini_httpd.conf}}
<pre>
## do not leave empty lines in here!
#host=www.example.org
port=80
user=minihttpd
dir=/www
nochroot
</pre>

Creating sample .html file
{{cmd|vi /www/index.html}}
<pre>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>HTML5</title>
</head>
<body>
Server is online
</body>
</html>
</pre>

Starting mini_httpd
{{cmd|rc-service mini_httpd start}}
<pre>
* Starting mini_httpd ... [ ok ]
</pre>

= Testing =
This section is assuming that mini_httpd is running and sample html page "/www/index.html" is created. Launch a web browser and point it to your web server. You should get:
<pre>
Server is online
</pre>

You can also test web server with curl
{{cmd|apk add curl
curl http://localhost}}

= Runlevel =
Normally you want to start the web server when the system is launching. This is done by adding mini_httpd to the needed runlevel.
{{Cmd|rc-update add mini_httpd default}}

Now mini_httpd should start automatically when you launch your system next time. To test that run:
{{cmd|reboot}}

To make sure that mini_httpd is started run:
{{cmd|<nowiki>ps aux | grep mini_httpd</nowiki>}}

You should get something like this:
<pre>
580 minihttp 0:00 /usr/sbin/mini_httpd -i /var/run/mini_httpd/mini_httpd.pid -C /etc/mini_httpd/mini_httpd.conf -l /var/log/mini_httpd/mini_httpd.log
