Installing Wt¶

Wt is now in portage. See also:

• http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259686

Trying the examples¶

Deployment with wthttpd¶

Simply follow the instructions in the INSTALL file (with X the name of an example):

$ cd ../examples/X # source directory for example X
$ ../../build/examples/X/X.wt --docroot . --http-address 0.0.0.0 --http-port 8080

Deployment with FastCGI¶

Modify /etc/init.d/apache2 to enable fastcgi:

APACHE2_OPTS="... -D FASTCGI"

Enable ExecCGI for the location where you wish to install the examples:

<Location /wt-examples>
<pre>
    Options ExecCGI
    Allow from All

To install a particular example:

# cd build/examples/composer
# ./deploy.sh

And list the path in /etc/apache2/modules.d/20_mod_fastcgi.conf:

FastCgiServer /var/www/localhost/htdocs/wt-examples/composer/composer.wt -idle-timeout 120 -processes 1

Finally, restart your apache, and check your log files for problems !

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
