1. cd mc_httpd-x.x

2../configure -- mandir =/usr/share/man

3. make

4. su root
 
5. make install

6. take look at the configuration file in doc/mc_httpd.conf and modify it for your needs.

7. cp doc/mc_http.conf/etc/mc_httpd.conf

8. exit

Supported:

Supports GET, HEAD, POST, DELETE, and PUT.

Supports Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Host, If-Match, If-Modified-Since, If-None-Match, If-Range, Range, if-Unmodified-Since and User-Agent request header fields.

Supports Connection and Date general header fields.

Supports Etag, Location, and Server response header fields.

Supports Expires, Content-Encoding, Content-Length, Content-Location, Content-MD5, Content-Range, Last-Modified, and Content-Type entity header fields.

Supports cookie and status header fields.

Cgi/1.1 is supported.

Supports virtual hosts.

Supports resumable download.

Supports resumable upload. (Note: The value of content-length must follow the example in HTTP/1.1)

Supports Multi-line header field.

Not supported:

The server cannot be used as a proxy server.

The server does not support video and audio.

Command line parameters:

Note: the priority of the command line parameter is higher than that of the configuration file. The command line parameters cannot be re-specified during restart. Therefore, except for the-4,-6, and-f options, other parameters are not recommended.

-4: the server process runs on ipv4.

-6: server processes run in ipv6.

NOTE: If neither-4 nor-6 is specified, the specific Protocol is selected by the server process. For example, ipvtu12.04 selects ipv4 by default, and freebsd9.1 selects ipv6 by default.

-C: the server process tests the user's environment and configuration file, and then outputs the test result. The server does not actually work.

-X: Debugging options. This version does not work.

-V: the version of the output server. The server does not actually work.

-D: Specify the root directory of the server. For example, the-d/home/nns server process runs in the root directory of/home/nns (that is, execute the chroot (/home/nns/) operation ).

-F: Specifies the path of the configuration file (must be an absolute path ). The default configuration file path is/etc/mc_httpd.conf.

-U: indicates the uid of the server process. Both the user name and user ID are acceptable parameters, and the server will convert them by itself.

-G: Specify the gid of the server process. The group name and group id are acceptable parameters, and the server will convert them by itself.

-P: Specifies the port number.

Configuration File parameters:

Note: Modification of parameters in the configuration file takes effect after restart. The source code doc directory contains the mc_httpd.conf template. You can modify the file and copy it to the/etc directory.

Rootpath: Specify the root directory of the server. For example, the rootpath "/home/nns" server process runs in the root directory of/home/nns (that is, execute the chroot (/home/nns/) operation ).

Cgitimelimit: the running time limit of the cgi program. This version does not work.

Timelimit: This version does not work.

Maxrequests: This version does not work.

Maxinterval: maximum time limit between two requests connected to the same link.

Port: Specifies the port number.

Backlog: specify the value of backlog in the listen function.

Dirset: 0 indicates that the directory is not displayed. If the value is not 0, the directory is displayed.

Putset: 0 indicates that the put method is disabled on the server. If it is not 0, the put method is allowed on the server.

Deleteset: 0 indicates that the delete method is disabled on the server, and non-0 indicates that the server allows the delete method.

Mdaset: 0 indicates that the server disables sending the Content-MD5 header domain, and a non-0 indicates that the server sends the Content-MD5 header domain by default.

Etagset: 0 indicates that the server prohibits sending the ETAG header domain. If the value is not 0, the server allows sending the ETAG header domain.

Defaulttype: this value is used when the server cannot identify the file type.

Defaultcharset: the character set used by the server.

User: uid of the server process. Both the user name and user ID are acceptable parameters, and the server will convert them by itself.

Group: Specify the gid of the server process. The group name and group id are all acceptable parameters, and the server will convert them by itself.

Tmppath: path for storing temporary files on the server. For example, before and after tmpath "/tmp/", "/tmp/", you can add or not add it. The program will process it by itself. In this example, the temporary directory is actually/home/nns/tmp (if rootpath is/home/nns ).

Logfile: the path of the server log file (absolute path ). Users should regularly view and clean up the content of the file.

Pidfile: the file on which the server stores the server process id.

Hosts: Server Virtual Host settings. The specific format is as follows:

    }

 

Indexnames: the default page that the server will process. For example, the hosts of a server is

}

Indexnames is

    | }     

When the server receives the nnsmgsone.com request, it will view the existence of index.html and index. xhtm in the/home/nns/wwwdirectory and then send the page to the browser. (Assuming that the rootpath is/home/nns)

Cgipaths: All files in the cgipaths directory are treated as cgi programs. For example:

    | }        

The program treats all the files in the/home/nns/cgi-bin directory and/home/nns/cgi Directory as cgi programs. (Assuming that the rootpath is/home/nns)

Errpage: error page of the specified program. For example:

}

 

If the server cannot find a page, it will reply/home/nns/www/404.html to the browser.

Assume that the rootpath is/home/nns/, and the hosts is

}

 

Mimeencoding: Specify mime encoding.

Mimetype: Specify the mime type.

Signal:

SIGTGERM: a gentle killing process.

SIGHUP: restart the server process.

Cgi program:

To run a cgi program, the rootpath directory must have all environments for running the program. Example (assuming that rootpath is/home/nns): If you want to run a shell file,/home/nns/bin/sh is required (other files may be required ), if you want to run a perl program,/home/nns/bin/perl and/home/nns/lib/libperl. so is required.
