Starting the HTTP service
About HTTP service
You can make the filer an HTTP server by adding HTTP service to it. After you start the HTTP service, clients can display files in the directory designated as root for the HTTP service by using a Web browser.
Starting HTTP service on the filer
To start HTTP service on your filer, complete the following steps.
Note
If you want the HTTP service to remain active after rebooting, you must add them to the /etc/rc file.

If you want to change the maximum size of the /etc/log/httpd.log file from the default of 2,147,483,647 bytes (2 GB minus 1 byte), enter the following command:
