Lighttp web server access files????

onkeldave83

hello,

i want to access a directory in /usr/var/www/

thats, i think, the document-root directory of lighttp

i want to make pictures avaible over browser http in lan

can someone explain me how?

Try using the vhosts package. That creates a new instance of lighttpd and document root for each 'host' you create. You can then add your pictures and scripts there. There's not much documentation though! ::)
Also be aware that using your firewall as a webserver is not a good idea from a security standpoint.

The directory is /usr/local/www for the webserver.

lighty conf is generated on boot. Just use DRindex http://www.templatesurge.com/files/DRIndex.zip drop the index.php in the folder you create in /usr/local/www
or use Simple Picture Gallery Manager
