sudo apt-get install yaws
Create some document folder:
mkdir /home/alin/public_html
Add data to an test.html file, in order to be rendered:
echo '<html><body><div>Hello from Yaws!</div></body></html>' > /home/alin/public_html/test.html
erlang module for embedded yaws:
-module(test_yaws).
-export([start/1, stop/0]).
-define(YAWS_LIB,"/usr/lib/erlang/lib/yaws-1.80/ebin").
start(Port) ->
code:add_path(?YAWS_LIB),
SL=[{listen,{0,0,0,0}},
{port,Port},
{servername,"localhost"},
{flags,[{dir_listings,true},{access_log,false}]}],
GL=[{trace,false},{tmpdir,"/tmp"},{flags,[{auth_log,false},{copy_errlog,false}]}],
yaws:start_embedded("/home/alin/public_html", SL, GL).
stop() ->
code:add_path(?YAWS_LIB),
yaws:stop().
Start embedded yaws:
