darkhttpd: Start server on specified port (port 8080 by default if running as non-root user).
$ darkhttpd ${path-to-docroot} --port ${port}
try on your machine
This command launches a lightweight web server called "darkhttpd" with two parameters:
-
${path-to-docroot}
: This should be replaced with the actual path to the directory that contains the files to be served by the web server. It defines the root document directory from where the server will serve the web pages. -
--port ${port}
:${port}
should be replaced with the desired port number. This parameter specifies the port on which the web server will listen for incoming HTTP requests.
By executing this command, the darkhttpd server will start, serving the files from the specified ${path-to-docroot}
directory, and listening on the specified ${port}
.
