TFPHTTPServer and absolute root dir / Windows
« on: January 15, 2021, 11:09:55 am »
Hi!
I creted simple HTTP Server using this tutorial:

https://www.freepascal.org/~michael/articles/webserver1/webserver1.pdf

Program is working but it works only if the root directory is in the same folder as exe file.
How can I setup root directory outside of the application folder?
Ubuntu 23.10 x64, / Windows 11 PL - latest updates
Lazarus 2.2.6, FPC 3.2.2

I made bugreport and bugfix for this issue. But can't find it now.

I had bad experience with TFPHTTPServer on Windows, it hangs after some days. Look at my topics here.
I switched to Indy HTTPServer and my indyhttpserver is working since 3 months without errors.

That was fixed in trunk in November and has been merged to 3.2.1, so 3.2.2 will work correctly.

Did you report that problem?

The main dev of TFPHTTPServer (MvC) does not frequent the forums often (or only when triggered by some other dev). So better report such things on the mailing list or the bug tracker.

Are they working on FCGI as well?

Yes. He's the main author of the whole fpWeb after all.
