YOU ARE WELCOME TO USE THE SERVER.THERE IS NO WARRANTY TO BE
MADE SINCE IT IS A FREEWARE.YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND REDISTRIBUTE
IT AT NO EXPENSE.


INSTRUCTION OF INSTALLING

So easy is to install it.
Without complex steps,download the ZIP package from 
http://miniserver.wxs.org then directly decompress it into 
a folder,launch wizard.

INSTRUCTION OF SETTING UP THE SERVER

Before launching the server,you should set up it.
There are two ways to do that. one is to use Wizard to guide you
,anther is to edit directly the 'miniserver.ini' with any text 
editor,in which all settings save.

The following fields are important to that process.
(the fields marked with '*' are required.)

*BaseDir-The location to the folder all files to be released save in.
         It is so called wwwroot directory. such as "c:\wwwroot"
         
*Port----The server's listen port number. as a www service ,it is always
         set to 80.
         
*TotalServices----The maximum number of services are provided at the
                  same time by the server.The default is 5.
                 
 LogFile-The location to a log file all clients' requests save in.
         But to save logs will low server's efficiency and use large
         disk spaces to store records,sometime up to gigabytes,when
         many clients visit yout site for many times .
         Leave it blank,if you want not.
         
*DefaultPage------It is a specified file to be sent to a client,when 
                  the client dose NOT say which file he wants. 
                  such as "index.html".      
*Timeout-After the time,if the server has not received a request,
         the connection is closed.
                            
 Php-----The location to the executable file of PHP,such as 
         "c:\php40\php.exe".
         Leave it blank,if you do NOT install or NOT use PHP.
        
 Perl----It is just like "Php" field.The location to the executable
         file of PERL,such as "c:\winperl\bin\perl.exe".
        

When you launch the server at the first time,the wizard starts
automatically to guide you to complete the settings.
That way is recommended.
