Monkey is a lightweight and powerful web server for GNU/Linux.

It has been designed to be very scalable with low memory and CPU consumption, the perfect solution for embedded devices. Made for ARM, x86 and x64

It's simple to configure && make ( works with Lucid 528 ), however I'm not sure how to create a pet file for this afterwards.



Start Monkey in less than 30 seconds

Make sure your are in a Linux box running a Kernel version >= 2.6.29, if you are set, you can start with the following commands as normal user

$ wget http://monkey-project.com/releases/1.1/monkey-1.1.1.tar.gz
$ tar zxfv monkey-1.1.1.tar.gz
$ cd monkey-1.1.1
$ ./configure
$ make
$ bin/monkey

Now point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:2001

Anyone want to have a go?

Try this and tell me if it works as expected. Compiled in Lucid 528 since that was what you mentioned.

It should create a menu entry and there is a .desktop file so you can drag that out to create a desktop icon.

Clicking on either of those will start Monkey and it runs in the background as a daemon. It changes automatically to run as user "nobody" (not "root") as you will see in process manager.

Once it is started if you want to kill it you can do so in process manager or by typing "killall monkey" (without the quotes) in the terminal.

Thank You OscarTalks

It works perfectly, I don't know what I was doing wrong but I could get it to install after compilation and it would run. But when I entered into terminal

new2dir make install

it failed to do so and gave me some but not all of the files that I see in your pet.

Excellent and thanks again!!

NB As a note of caution to others it is a bit of nightmare to uninstall cleanly via the PPM.

If anyone wants to play around with this, documentation and tutorials are available here:
