-                        You can determine the specifics of your lighttpd

-                        However, one basic method that starts it by hand is:

7706	If you are using Security-Enhanced Linux
7707	(SELinux), you need to label the files as
7708	being accessible through Apache.
7709	Use the following command from the development
7710	host.
7711	This example assumes RPM package types:
7712	<literallayout class='monospaced'>

7724	If you are using lighttpd, all you need
7725	to do is to provide a link from your
7726	<filename>${TMPDIR}/deploy/<replaceable>packageformat</replaceable></filename>
7727	directory to lighttpd's document-root.
7728	You can determine the specifics of your lighttpd
7729	installation by looking through its configuration file,
7730	which is usually found at:
7731	<filename>/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf</filename>.
7732	For example, if you are using IPK, lighttpd's
7733	document-root is set to
7734	<filename>/var/www/lighttpd</filename>, and you had
7735	packages for a target named "BOARD",
7736	then you might create a link from your build location
7737	to lighttpd's document-root as follows:
7738	<literallayout class='monospaced'>
7739	# ln -s $(PWD)/tmp/deploy/ipk /var/www/lighttpd/BOARD-dir
7740	</literallayout>

7744	At this point, you need to start the lighttpd server.
7745	The method used to start the server varies by
7746	distribution.
7747	However, one basic method that starts it by hand is:
7748	<literallayout class='monospaced'>
7749	# lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

7758	It is possible to serve packages hosted by a build
7759	machine through an HTTP server created with a simple
7760	Python command.
7761	</para>
7762
7763	<para>
7764	The first thing you do is to create a directory that
7765	contains the packages to host.
7766	Be sure you have root privileges and place the directory
7767	inside <filename>var/www/</filename>
7768	(e.g. <filename>/var/www/my_repo/</filename>).
7769	To ensure the directory contains the packages you want
7770	to serve, you need to create a symlink from the
7771	package feed area to the directory that hosts the
7772	packages you want to provide:
7773	<literallayout class='monospaced'>
7774	my_repo # ln -s ~{TMPDIR}/deploy/<replaceable>packageformat</replaceable> ./	7673	my_repo # ln -s ~{TMPDIR}/deploy/<replaceable>packageformat</replaceable> ./
