I just installed an 8-client LAN in my science classroom at a small K-12 school. All the machines are running Ubuntu Intrepid. I have another computer on my desk which I'm using as a server. Although I've been a Linux user for many years, I'm a total newbie when it comes to servers.
I first installed lighttpd for the server, and it's OK except for one thing which I will describe in the next paragraph. When I saw the freshmeat announcement of Cherokee 0.99, I decided to give it a look. Although I know how to edit a config file, I'd rather have a GUI. So now I have Cherokee doing the serving... but the problem is still there. The server machine can dual boot to either a Ubuntu or W2K partition, and there is a third vfat partition that I use for documents and such that I want available to both OSes. I would like to put the server document root on this vfat partition, but neither lighttpd nor Cherokee will use it. If I specify /mnt/extra/www for Cherokee, it gives me a 404 error when I try to browse there... and there is a good index.html in the folder. Is there something special that has to be done to enable a separate partition as the document root? Someone said something about bind, but I didn't know what they were talking about. Lane
