chroot-server Sample

This sample shows how to run Appweb in a Chroot-jail. This is where Appweb runs with enhanced security by changing its root directory so that the rest of the operating system is inaccessible.

Requirements

• Appweb

To build:

make

To run:

sudo make run

The server listens on port 8080. Browse to:

 http://localhost:8080/
 http://localhost:8080/test.esp

Alternatively, run appweb to use the appweb.conf file.

sudo appweb

Notes:

So that the Compiler is not required inside the jail, the ESP pages are pre-compiled before running Appweb. Appweb is configured to load modules before changing the root directory via the "Chroot" directive in appweb.conf.

Code:

• Makefile - Makefile build instructions
• server.c - Main program
• appweb.conf - Appweb server configuration file

Documentation:

• Appweb Documentation
• Chroot Directive
• Security Considerations
