* httpd with ssl Run httpd using inets. Tell inets what to start by configuring 'services' in a config file that you pass to erl(1) at startup: $ cat httpd_inets.config [{inets, [{services, [ {httpd, [{proplist_file, "httpd_inets_props.conf"}]} ]}]}]. $ Then start erl with `-config httpd_inets'. In erl, start inets: 1> inets.start(). ok There are two ways to configure the httpd server. Either configure httpd using a props list with all the httpd arguments: $ cat httpd_inets_props.conf [ {port, 8080}, {bind_address, {127,0,0,1}}, {server_name, "httpd_inets_FQDN"}, {server_root, "/tmp/httpd_inets"}, {document_root, "/tmp/httpd_inets/docroot"}, {socket_type, essl}, {ssl_certificate_file, "/tmp/httpd_inets/02.pem"}, {ssl_certificate_key_file, "/tmp/httpd_inets/srv1.key"}, {ssl_ca_certificate_file, "/tmp/httpd_inets/01.pem"} ]. $ In the example config for inets above, this is what will be used. Or configure httpd using an Apache like configuration file. Configure inets to start httpd with {file, "httpd_config"} in httpd_inets.config. Here's a config file equivalent to what's seen above in the props list: $ cat httpd_config.OFF ServerName httpd_inets_FQDN ServerRoot /tmp/httpd_inets DocumentRoot /tmp/httpd_inets/docroot Port 8080 SocketType essl SSLCertificateFile /tmp/httpd_inets/02.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /tmp/httpd_inets/srv1.key SSLCACertificateFile /tmp/httpd_inets/01.pem $
