Simple web server implemented in PHP for my Bachelor's degree thesis project. PHP Web Server supports HEAD, GET and POST methods, compression, and chunked transfer encoding. PHP Web Server can execute CGI and PHP scripts.
PHP Web Server has been tested only on Ubuntu Linux with PHP5.
PHP Web Server requires that php-cli and php-cgi are installed:
$ sudo apt-get install php5 php5-cgi
In php-cgi php.ini file set the following line:
cgi.force_redirect = 0
Then simply clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/ValerioLuconi/PHP-Web-Server.git
The general configuration file is conf/general.conf.
By default the PHP Web Server listens on port 1234. To change the port edit the line
Port: 1234
with:
Port: <your_port_nuber>
You can set up your host configuration with:
Host: <host_name> <home_dir>
You can set up aliases for an host with:
Alias: /<alias_name>/ /<alias_path>/
Make sure to insert the /s and not leave white spaces or empty rows between the Host and Alias rows.
An example host configuration is:
Host: localhost /home/www/
Alias: /~valerio/ /home/valerio/
Alias: /cgi-bin/ /script/cgi-bin/
CGI scripts have to be located in a /cgi-bin/ directory inside the home directory of a host.
Simply type
$ php server.php
