Boa Webserver

1.Go to official site http://www.boa.org/ download source code.

2.compile: referce the official site document http://www.boa.org/documentation/boa-2.html

(1)cd src, because configure flile is in src directory.

(2) ./configure

(3)Modify source code: "foo##->tm_gmtoff" to "foo->tm_gmtoff". or not "make" will be error.

If will run in mini2440, need modify Makefile:

CC = arm-linux-gcc 
CPP = arm-linux-gcc -E

 

(4)make.

3.Install

(1) Copy "boa" and "boa_indexer" to /bin/.

(2) Copy "boa.conf" to /etc/boa. NOTE: boa.conf is in ../src

#Group nogroup    -->改为 Group 0（可选）
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/    -->改为    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/ （可选）

因为系统默认是没有nogroup组的(0表示root组，可以使用id命令查看，见下)

5.Copy a .html file to /var/www/. Such as http://www.boa.org/

DIE("unable to dup2 the error log");

}
