Re: CLI Web Server customization

Hello Yasuo! Thank you for your detailed response on this topic. I will look more into the source code of the CLI server and see what I can do. Sadly I am not a big C guy, but maybe the code will lead me into the right direction :) Yes, I have a watch dog over each process that I spawn (a seperate thrad which is dedicated to the process). So if the server decides to shut down, I can bring it back up immediately. Thank you again for the hint. I agree, the note should be changed some, it's a little bit misleading in my opinion. But I can see it's purpose, as most people will just use apache to serve PHP files. Kind regards, Ingwie.
