src/thttpd-2.27/INSTALL

   1 To build:
   2
   3     % ./configure
   4
   5     Edit config.h to change the configuration options if necessary.
   6
   7     % make
   8
   9
  10 To install:
  11
  12     % make install
  13
  14     Edit one of your system rc files to run thttpd at boot time.  Do NOT
  15     run it from inetd, that setup is inefficient so thttpd doesn't support it.

  18 Red Hat:
  19
  20     On Red Hat Linux systems you can use RPM to install thttpd, like so:
  21
  22         cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
  23         wget http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/thttpd-2.26.tar.gz
  24         rpm -ta thttpd-2.26.tar.gz
  25         rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/thttpd-2.26-1.i386.rpm

  28 Solaris:
  29
  30     If you're running Solaris and you want to use the security-enhancing
  31     chroot feature, then you must create the TCP device files in the chroot
  32     tree.  There is no way around this, Solaris needs these files to accept
  33     network connections.  You need /dev/tcp, which is a symbolic link like so:
  34         /dev/tcp -> ../devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
  35     And you also need the file it points to:
  36         crw-rw-rw-  bin  11, 42 May 24 21:32 /devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
  37     You probably need some other files too, such as shared libraries and
  38     a tmp directory.  Check out the man page for ftpd, it has a big long
  39     shell script for setting up an anonymous ftp area that should also
  40     work for thttpd.
