Yaws

The erlyaws-list is used to discuss Yaws. You might find the erlyaws-list archives helpful. If you've cloned the source from github and you want to build using autotools, note there is no ./configure script in the source, so create one: Install build dependencies. Required packages to compile Yaws are (based on debian packages): If using rebar3, you'll get a "local installation" that you can run via rebar3 shell . If using autotools, the build will be configured by default for installation under /usr/local. For more information about installation directories and other supported options, see the configure help. Useful options are: All Yaws files will be installed under DESTDIR, but all code will assume Yaws should be installed under /usr. Note that various paths in configuration files, templates, examples etc. are generated from the configured installation prefix config files; thus they will vary if the installation prefix is different across builds. This can be mitigated by using DESTDIR when installing (see the Build section above for more details). NOTE: If you've used rebar3 to build the system, none of the following directions apply. NOTE: following commands may require root privileges, depending of the installation prefix. With the default yaws.conf file, this will create a webserver at and one at This will start a daemon (--daemon) which will be autorestarted when/if it crashes or hangs (--heart). Also, for most unices, we create proper start scripts in ${sysconfdir}/init.d To report security vulnerabilities or other security-related issues, please refer to the Yaws security policy.
