7651 environment, the setup is simple and straight forward.
7652 Should you want to use a different server more suited for
7653 production (e.g. Apache 2, Lighttpd, or Nginx), take the
7654 appropriate steps to do so.

7723 <para>
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>
7741 </para>

7743 <para>
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

7759 machine through an HTTP server created with a simple
7760 Python command.

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'>
