An error has occured, exiting about asmttpd HOT 10 CLOSED

Try it with a '/' (Slash) after "web_root". Sometimes it works better with a slash at the end.

@TheFox, thanks for the instant reply, but it's giving the same error whether I provide the directory with ending foreslash or not.

asmttpd - 0.08

Using Document Root: web_root/

Same error persists if I use directory (as webroot) other than the provided directory (web_root) in this project's repository.

And if you use the absolute path?

@TheFox: Same result with absolute path:

$ sudo ./asmttpd /home/vishal/projects/asmttpd/web_root/
asmttpd - 0.08

Hi. Yeah I've got to improve that error message. Most likely port 80 is in use. You can make sure by using strace. Eg: strace ./asmttpd /blah

from asmttpd.

@nemasu Yep! That's the error which was causing it to exit. Thanks, and please surely change the error message appropriately.

Trace printed on stdout is something:

[truncated]
bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address already in use)
[truncated]

Can I provide different port, is it implemented yet?

BTW, you can close this issue by now.

from asmttpd.

have a config file should be a good solution... or simply by adding arguments to cmd line

from asmttpd.

Yeah, leaning toward command line options.

The port is defined near the top of main.asm. Keep in mind it's in network byte order.

from asmttpd.

Yeah, reading a config file something like .asmttpdrc from home directory is a good idea, as so many popular softwares have such run commands files. Also accepting command line options, for example, -d <path/to/webroot/dir>, -p <desired-port-number> is also a convenient thing to consider.
