Web Server

Hi all,

I want to run a web server on the beagle board and be able to access
the website remotely (but on the same network). Suggestions for a web
server, os for the board, wifi unit (if you have wifi on your board,
which one, is it usb?, and is it any good?)

Thanks

There are many options, but here is just a small selection
Web server: I use Helma[2] (using JamVM[3]), but lighttpd [4], thttpd
[5], and Apache2 [1] are good options.
OS: I use Angstrom [6].
WiFi: I'd recommend going with the Belkin, since this has been seen to
work [7].

Another pretty good, fast and light web server is cherokee[0], I don't
know if there is a package for angstrom

There is, although it's not the latest version:

I still use boa every now and then but have not tried it on the
beagleboard yet. If you want simple, small, and fast it's pretty good
and I think it's in Debian( I know it's in Ubuntu's repo ). I once
used it in a router which booted from 1.44MB floppy with 4MB of RAM in
a old 386. Here's an info page:

Angstrom has it as well: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=boa
