Installation

Wlighttpd comes as a ZIP file containing an NSIS installer. Simply unzip your downloaded copy and run the installer :

  1. Accept License agreement.
  2. Specify an installation location.
  3. 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).
