To build:
% ./configure
Edit config.h to change the configuration options if necessary.
% make
To install:
% make install
Edit one of your system rc files to run thttpd at boot time. Do NOT
run it from inetd, that setup is inefficient so thttpd doesn't support it.
Red Hat:
On Red Hat Linux systems you can use RPM to install thttpd, like so:
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
wget http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/thttpd-2.29.tar.gz
rpm -ta thttpd-2.29.tar.gz
rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/thttpd-2.29-1.i386.rpm
Solaris:
If you're running Solaris and you want to use the security-enhancing
chroot feature, then you must create the TCP device files in the chroot
tree. There is no way around this, Solaris needs these files to accept
network connections. You need /dev/tcp, which is a symbolic link like so:
/dev/tcp -> ../devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
And you also need the file it points to:
crw-rw-rw- bin 11, 42 May 24 21:32 /devices/pseudo/clone@0:tcp
You probably need some other files too, such as shared libraries and
a tmp directory. Check out the man page for ftpd, it has a big long
shell script for setting up an anonymous ftp area that should also
work for thttpd.
