In order to setup my own content server i am looking for a small webserver to server unparsed content as needed.

I tried out the thttpd because its very very small. But the other side of this little throtteling webserver is, it allways parses the contents of the files

Now im lost in searching around for an alternative. Maybe there is only the indian left to use, is it?

And how to shrikt this monster down to save system ressources?

Sorry for my bad english.

Perhaps lighttpd?

[allstats.de]

And how do i treat this pretty little pice of code not to parse content?

Anyone knows?

[Kybber]

Are you sure lighttpd parses content by default?

[allstats.de]

Hö, should i ll try this? I think i should.

[allstats.de]

Hm, all the transfered files get the -x flag so they are not executable on the gamehost. Whats wrong with my lighttpd?

[Kybber]

Probably nothing Files downloaded via HTTP
don't preserve their original attributes.

To make files get the +x attribute, simply create
a text-file called gamename.op.txt (for instance
cssource.op.txt) in your linux-dir alongside all
the other .txt-files. In that file you list the files
which should be +x. Then rerun build-update.php.

You don't really need to add the file which is
executed by GC as it will be made executable
anyway, but it doesn't hurt to have it in there.

thank you

do you know how to do the same with apache but telling him not to parse the content of one folder??

I think parsing should not mind while you dont have to download html/php/etc code file

Am i correct?

[Kybber]

Just so we don't misunderstand eachother:
The .op.txt-files are webserver-irrelevant. All
they do is tell the GC client on your host that
when it has downloaded a game from the web-
server, it should chmod +x those files. Doesn't
matter if it's lighttpd or apache.

Two minutes of googling took me here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#removetype

So try something like this in your apache config:

Could you tell me what did you put in google?
I have been searching for it this morning (europe) and found nothing.
I tried with 'apache dont parse' and things like that, but nope.

For others: if using .htaccess remember to allow them changing AllowOverride to All at the apache's config of your virtual host

Thanks for the fast reply

P.S: How do you know so much kybber? Hahaha

I first wanted to find out how to make apache
parse, so I searched for "apache parse php".
The first hit showed me how to use AddType.
So I figured there would probably be a directive
to do the opposite and searched for "apache addtype"
to look for the manual. Hopefully the reverse
directive would be described alongside AddType,
and lo and behold it was I then replaced '1.3'
in the URL with '2.2', verified the directive was
still existent and pasted it in here

I've been using GC for almost three years now,
and I think Andrew, one of the devs, can vouch
that I am a pretty demanding user - in some
cases I am sure I exploit GC's more intricate
parts harder than the devs themselves

BTW: Using .htaccess files is less efficient than
adding the directives to your config files since
Apache needs to look for and read the .htaccess
files of every parent-dir every time it tries to
access a file (a few thousand times for a typical
game installation). If you instead specify
AllowOverride None, and add the directives to
your config-files, then Apache won't waste any
time looking for the .htaccess files.

[chiva]

Yep, I like modyfing apaches config directly
.htaccess are there because of shared hosting

Now, i will start making content packages...

Thanks again
