lighthttp for Pi

(1/2) > >>

lemming:
I want to set up a Pi with a webserver so that I can control the various I/O of the Pi through a web interface. To do this I would like a light webserver, e.g. lighthttp, to provide this interface. I will need to use cgi to call a C executable to controlthe Pi's I/O. While there is a TCZ of lighthttp for the standard Core, there is none for Picore. There is mongoose however this requires a subscription to be paid each year for CGI functionality and, I assume, the Pi connected to the internet so they can enforce this.  My application is for a remote, solar powered installation so this is not an option.

I would prefer to use lighthttp as it is well documented, well supported through the use by many users. Has anyone got a TCZ for PiCore. However if this is not possible can anyone suggest another light webserver with CGI?

Hi lemming
Maybe this thread is of some help:

lemming:
Thanks Rich,

Since posting the OP I stumbled across this one. Looks nice and light and supports CGI.

Not as well used and well 'forumed' as lighthttp, which I'd prefer, but I will give it a try.

hi lemming,

Also, there are 2 x httpd examples in the "Into the Core" book http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html

Also you can use apache2.4.tcz
