Installing OmniHTTPd

Installation is easiest if you use all the default settings. On most configurations OmniHTTPd will run "right out of the package" in local mode with all of the defaults. Local mode will allow you to browse local files through your browser by pointing your browser to the loopback address.

If you are running OmniHTTPd on an Intranet...
Get your IP address from your administrator and put that in the Site Address setting. Turn off all address resolution.

If you are running OmniHTTPd on the Internet with a dial up...
You are most likely using a dynamic IP. What you have in Site Address will change every time you dial in to connect. You MUST turn on the bounce site resolution.

If you are running OmniHTTPd on the Internet with a static IP...
Set your IP address in the Site Address setting.

Note that 'Primary' is the default configuration. To create and use other configurations, simply run the server with the configuration name as a command line parameter. Note that multiple copies of the server can run as long as each copy uses different network ports and log files.
