[Cialug] thttpd

[Nathan C. Smith]

Check the log files to see if there are any reasons for it not to start?  Is it starting under the correct user permissions?  Does the user it is trying to run as have permissions to the config or for the content it is trying to serve?

Subject: [Cialug] thttpd

I installed thttpd on a server running Ubuntu 11.04 and can't seem to get it to start.  I have examined the thttpd.conf file and compared it with an exmple that I found which did not turn up any issues.  I created a short index.html file in the directory it told me to put it.  However when I try to connect to the web page I get an error indicating the server is not running (no response!).  I can ping the server from the machine I am attempting to browse from (on same local segment) but can't connect to the web page.

I used the ps -e command to see all the running processes and don't see thttpd in there anywhere.

I also looked in the directory where the log is to be but do not see any log there.

Anyone willing to help me out on this?

Thanks!
