 INSTALLATION
================================================================================

This guide describes installation of lighttpd both for Linux and mOS. 
For Linux, we also provide the patches for multi-threading and SO_REUSEPORT. 
For more detail, please look at the description below.
Each version of lighttpd should be configured differently and then compiled.

================================================================================
 Original version
================================================================================

:author: Jan Kneschke
:Date: $Date: $
:Revision: $Revision: $

Get the source from

http://www.lighttpd.net/download/

unpack it by ::

  $ gzip -cd lighttpd-1.x.x.tar.gz | tar xf -

compile and install it with ::

  $ cd lighttpd-1.x.x
  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ su -
  # make install (if necessary)
  # exit

take a look at the configfile in ./doc/lighttpd.conf,
make your own copy of that file and modify it for your needs.

================================================================================
 mOS version
================================================================================
You may need to install the following packages to compile lighttpd:
  - gcc (Ubuntu package: gcc)
  - gdb (Ubuntu package: gdb)
  - make (Ubuntu package: make)
  - libpcre-dev (Ubuntu package: libpcre3-dev libpcre++-dev)


Configure the program with the following arguments:

  $ ./configure --without-bzip2 CFLAGS="-O3" \
    --with-libmtcp=${PATH_TO_LIBMOS} \
    --with-libdpdk=${PATH_TO_LIBDPDK}
    
  (e.g.
	$ ./configure --without-bzip2 CFLAGS="-g -O3" \
	--with-libmtcp="<$PATH_TO_MOS>/core" \
	--with-libdpdk=$RTE_SDK/$RTE_TARGET
  )

The path should be absolute.

  ## For debugging
  $ ./configure --without-bzip2 CFLAGS="-g -DINFO -DDBGERR" \
    --with-libmtcp=${PATH_TO_LIBMOS} \
    --with-libdpdk=${PATH_TO_LIBDPDK}

  (e.g.
	$ ./configure --without-bzip2 CFLAGS="-g -DINFO -DDBGERR" \
	--with-libmtcp="<$PATH_TO_MOS>/core/" \
	--with-libdpdk=$RTE_SDK/$RTE_TARGET
  )

Please remember to adjust lighttpd.conf file carefully.
Fields to adjust are:
  - server.bind
  - server.event-handler
  - server.network-backend
  - server.listen-backlog
  - server.document-root
  - server.infinite-keep-alive-requests
	-- set it to "enable" for better performance

Also, remember to locate the 'mos.conf' at the directory where the binary lies.
  -- This should be $<path_to_lighttpd>/src/mos.conf

Sample lighttpd configuration files are placed at doc/config/. The default 
config file assumes that it host web pages in /srv/www/htdocs directory while
it does error logging in /tmp/lighttpd/error.log file. Please make sure that
the directories are created before running lighttpd.
 - Default: lighttpd.conf
 - For mOS: m-lighttpd.conf

Please use the following command to run lighttpd:
  $ sudo ./lighttpd -D -f ${PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE} -n ${NO_OF_CORES}
  (e.g., $ sudo ./lighttpd -D -f ../docs/config/m-lighttpd.conf -n 8)

Both PATH_OF_CONFIG_FILE and NO_OF_CORES options are required.

================================================================================
 Multi-threaded version (on Linux)
================================================================================

Configure the program with the following arguments:

  $ ./configure --without-bzip2 CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-multithreading

Please remember to adjust lighttpd.conf file carefully.
Fields to adjust are:
  - server.bind
  - server.event-handler ("linux-sysepoll")
  - server.network-backend ("linux-sendfile")

Please turn OFF server.listen-backlog

A sample lighttpd.conf file is placed@: doc/config/lighttpd.conf

Please use the following command to run lighttpd:
  $ sudo ./src/lighttpd -D -f ${PATH_OF_CONFIG_FILE} -n ${NO_OF_CORES}

================================================================================
 Multi-threaded REUSEPORT version (on Linux)
================================================================================

First, check whether your kernel version is higher than 3.9. This SO_REUSEPORT 
option is supported only after Linux-3.9.

Then, please check whether SO_REUSEPORT is defined. Please update 
/usr/include/asm-generic/socket.h by adding the following line. 
(if it is not already defined)

#define SO_REUSEPORT 15


Configure the program with the following arguments:

  $ ./configure --without-bzip2 CFLAGS="-O3 -DREUSEPORT" --enable-multithreading

Please remember to adjust lighttpd.conf file carefully.
Fields to adjust are:
  - server.bind
  - server.event-handler ("linux-sysepoll")
  - server.network-backend ("linux-sendfile")
  - server.document-root

Please turn OFF server.listen-backlog

Please use the following command to run lighttpd:
  $ sudo ./src/lighttpd -D -f ${PATH_OF_CONFIG_FILE} -n ${NO_OF_CORES}
