Starting the HTTP service

Enable the httpd daemon by entering the following command:

options httpd.enable on

Enter the following command to specify the root directory that contains the files and directories to be read by HTTP clients:

options httpd.rootdir directory

directory is the root directory name.

Example

If the root directory is /vol0/home/users/pages, you use the following command:

options httpd.rootdir /vol0/home/users/pages

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:

options httpd.log.max_file_size bytes

You may enter any value from zero (0) to the default value described above.

Make a copy of the /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample file and name the copy /etc/httpd.mimetypes.

If the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file is missing, the HTTP client uses the information in the /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample file.
