In a EC21E (QuecOpen version SDK: EC21EFAR06A05M4G_OCPU_20.001.20.001_SDK) it is present a folder “www” containing “pages” subfolder and index.html
I wonder if EC21E embeeds a web server and how to activate it: is there any document related to this feature?
Or is it necessary to include into the application apache or any other web server?
For example currently I included a modbusTCP server listeing on port 502.
Should I do the same for port 80? If so, it is very tedious…
In this way it will possible to reach it from remote (obviously using a sim card with public IP address or sim card in a VPN provided by carrier operator).
If I understand correctly，are you asking about DMZ-like mapping transformations and webUI?
For this part function needs to be developed by customer, and about the folder “www”，this part is the webUI part provided by Qualcomm a long time ago, and it has no reference significance or some documents and also requires a license from Qualcomm.
As for as i know，most of these customers use open source software such as Goahead, apache, Lighttpd to build.
Hello @Puck-Q,
Thanks for reply. Your understand is correct.
I would like to test lighttpd. Is there any document which explain how to install it in QuecOpen? This question is valid in general for any service which one person would install into QuecOpen linux.
In practice, what is the command to install a package? apt-get, pacman, yum, etc… seem not available on busybox.

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
I wonder if @Puck-Q could provide a “pre-compiled” version of lighttpd ready to be copied into module and luanched with customized lighttpd.conf file.
I have successfully ported lighttpd for arm linux, and through configuration, I have done the following, but I have no experience in web development, the rest of the work should be your area of expertise.
In addition, I use arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc to compile, which is similar to arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-gcc in the SDK. you can get the tool and lighttpd compiled file at the following link . arm-2014.05-29-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 & lighttpd.tar
lighttpd.conf file point to directory /WEBSERVER/www
After various attempts and modification to lighttpd.conf file I was able to retrieve webpages contained in “/WEBSERVER/www” folder. So far so good!
Now it remains to undestand how to “exchange” data between lighttpd and QuecOpen application. I think it will be necessary to use files which are produced by QuecOpen and consumed by lighttpd when request by remote. If you have better idea they are welcome!
