Looks like your webOS Pre can now serve web pages, thanks to Nebula (also recently responsible for porting MAME to the Pre). A how-to guide has been posted on PreDevWiki on turning your Pre into a webserver. By rooting your Pre and installing a few IPKs, you can configure your device under a traditional LAMP setup (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP/Python/Perl). Cacti was used as a Network Monitoring System. And how does it perform? "It runs very well", he notes.
By following just a few steps, your Pre can also be a bonafide Linux Apache webserver. Hit up the link below for additional sceenshots and the .ipk downloads. For those desiring additional Linux functionality, a hack was previously detailed to enable the Optware Package Feed on the Pre.
Basic Instructions (Nebula promises more detailed instructions to be posted):
- Install the above ipk's
- Configure apache to load the php module, and the appropriate directory assignments (ex. /cacti/)
- Install cron
- Configure whatever LAMP application you want to use
- Configure cron and init scripts to run at boot time.
- Allow port 8000 traffic to specific interfaces. (iptables)
