Installation
Wlighttpd comes as a ZIP file containing an NSIS installer. Simply unzip your downloaded copy and run the installer :
- Accept License agreement.
- Specify an installation location.
- Installation starts. By clicking 'Details' button, you can get more detailed information about installation.
Usage
The installer will set up the Wlighttpd - Lighttpd service, configurable by the contents of the etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file
You need to:
- update the configuration file according to your needs. The default one comes with a self signed certificate and redirects http to https for non-local requests. There are many options that can be configured via the configuration file. Check lighttpd wiki for more information.
- replace the self-signed ssl certificate by your own.
You can now start the service and monitor the activity via log files at /var/log folder.
The service is set up in automatic mode and run by the LOCAL SERVICE Account (limited access).
