Small: It has a very +small run-time size, since it does not fork and is very careful about +memory allocation. Portable: It compiles cleanly on most any +Unix-like OS. Fast: In typical use it's about as fast as the best +full-featured servers. Secure: It goes to great lengths to protect +the web server machine against attacks and breakins from other sites. + +Notes: + +By default the directory to serve through HTTP will be '/var/www/thttpd', +if you want to change it execute the SalckBuild as: + # WEBDIR='/opt/www' sh thttpd.SlackBuild + +To build and use this package the user/group 'thttpd' is required to +exists in your system. You can add it with: + # groupadd -g 227 thttpd + # useradd -u 227 -g 227 -c "User for thttpd" -d / -s /bin/false thttpd |
