= Configuring the Lighttpd web server =

== Preliminaries==
# Gain [[Portal:Accessing_Linux | root access]].
# Setup the [[Next_steps | Optware Feed]].
# Open the root file system to read/write with rootfs_open.

== Install Lighttpd with PHP support ==

<pre><nowiki>ipkg-opt install lighttpd php-fcgi</nowiki></pre>

== Tweak settings ==

<pre><nowiki>vi /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf</nowiki></pre>
If you are going to run static HTML pages, there is no need to do this. If you want the ability to run PHP pages then this line must be uncommented:

<pre><nowiki> "mod_fastcgi", </nowiki></pre>

You may also want to adjust the port that the web server runs on. Sprint blocks port 80 and this package installs Lighttpd to run on port 8081 :

<pre><nowiki>
## bind to port (default: 80)
server.port = 8081
</nowiki></pre>

Start the web server:

<pre><nowiki>/opt/etc/init.d/S80lighttpd start</nowiki></pre>

== Add a startup script ==

I placed a file at /etc/event.d/optware-lighttpd so that the web server starts up after each reboot and the iptables firewall rules are executed to allow access to port 8080:

<pre><nowiki>
# don't start until the WebOS finishes it's normal boot
# that way no delay is added to the GUI startup
start on stopped finish
stop on runlevel [!2]

# Restart the lighttpd daemon if it exits/dies
respawn

exec /opt/sbin/lighttpd -f /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

pre-start script
/usr/sbin/iptables -D INPUT -p tcp --dport 8081 -j ACCEPT || /bin/true
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8081 -j ACCEPT
end script
</nowiki></pre>

Reboot the phone so that the firewall rules are executed:

<pre><nowiki>/sbin/reboot</nowiki></pre>

== Add files to the web directory: ==

The default home directory lives at:

<pre><nowiki>/opt/share/www/</nowiki></pre>

Sample gps.php file that will load your current location via Google maps:

<pre><nowiki>
<?php
$gps = `luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.location/getCurrentPosition {} 2>&1 | cut -d, -f4,5 | sed -r 's/[^-\.0-9,]//g'`;

|The Pre runs a very standard Linux on a commonly available processor. Very soon after access was achieved to the Linux, the Optware team made the entire catalog of Optware packages available on the pre.

More about the Optware project here: [http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Packages Optware Packages].

You can view a list of available packages here: [http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/ List of Packages].

The community has been busy porting other applications to the Pre. Some of those are listed, and have pages for them below.

Just name the tutorial with

"Tutorials Linux " + name

Ex: Tutorials_Linux_Getting_Started<br />
(spaces are the same thing as underscores)

== Policies about adding Applications ==

Your application can be any progress (Completed/Beta/Design Phase), just make sure you have a temporary name. For example if your application is called "Testing This":

<source lang="text">
{{portal-application-item
|name=Asteroids
|article=Asteroids
|user=AWESOM-O
|site=http://domain.com/asteroids/
|description=This is a short description, leave screenshots
and other details for the application page.

}}
</source>

Place this under the [[Portal:Linux Applications All|All Linux Application Portal]], and the category it goes under (for instance "Games" if it is a game). You can always change the applications name just make sure it is not taken and let us know on the [[Admin_Changes|Admin Changes]] page so we can delete the old application page (so others can use it).
