🎥 Demo

📦 Compilation

To compile the webserver you should run make with the configuration file of your choice.

This rule will generate a webserv file, which is the zipped version of all the object files.

To launch the executable you should follow this syntax...

$ ./webserv config_file/server.conf

Where config_file/server.conf is the name of a file that represents the configuration of the webserver.

You can find example of configuration files in the config_files folder.
