Where is the web server root directory on Angstrom Linux (BeagleBoard | BeagleBone)?

Question

I'm trying to find the default web server directory on my BeagleBone with Angstrom Linux. That is, where are the files served when I go to:

http://beaglebone.local:80

Another way would be to answer this question: How do I find out what directory a port number points to on my BeagleBone with Angstrom Linux?

Answer 1

The BeagleBone|BeagleBoard Angstrom Linux distribution ships with a socket server that runs as a service using node.js and bonescript in:

/var/lib/cloud9/bonescript/

and can be accessed at: http://beaglebone.local:80

You can also install lighttpd with

opkg install lighttpd

and will install a config file into

/etc/lighttpd.conf

which can be altered to set the default web directory wherever you like.

Do you know how I can disable the standard cloud9/bonescript node, and set my own web server to launch as the default upon startup? (I'm using a twistd server). Thanks! – Elkin

Not off hand. You might try to post your question. – Stressful

Answer 2

I found the following worked, evenutally:

systemctl disable bonescript.service
systemctl disable bonescript-autorun.service
systemctl disable cloud9.service
systemctl disable bonescript.socket

Use 'systemctl list-units' to check they've stopped. Possibly, there's a correct order you have to do these in, I had to fiddle around and repeat these a bit before they were all dead. You could probably just nuke the symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants and reboot.
