</ul> <p> Both of these commands start a Fossil server on port 8080 on the local machine, which can be accessed with the URL: <tt>http://localhost:8080/</tt> using any handy web browser. The difference between the two commands is that "ui", in addition to starting the Fossil server, also starts a web browser and points it to the URL mentioned above. </p> <p> NOTES: <ol> <li>The option "--port NNN" will start the server on port "NNN" instead of 8080. <li>If port 8080 is already being used (perhaps by another Fossil server), then Fossil will use the next available port number. ................................................................................ <p> Once the script is set up correctly, and assuming your server is also set correctly, you should be able to access your repository with a URL like: <tt>http://mydomain.org/cgi-bin/repo</tt> (assuming the "repo" script is accessible under "cgi-bin", which would be a typical deployment on Apache for instance). </p> </blockquote> <h3>Serving multiple repositories with one script</h3><blockquote> <p> This scenario is almost identical to the previous one. However, here we will assume you have multiple repositories, in one directory (call it 'fossils'). So as before, create a script (again, 'repo'): <blockquote><tt> #!/path-to/fossil<br> directory: /path-to-repo/fossils<br> notfound: http://url-to-go-to-if-repo-not-found/ </tt></blockquote> </p> <p> Once deployed, a URL like: <tt>http://mydomain.org/cgi-bin/repo/XYZ</tt> will serve up the repository "fossils/XYX" (if it exists). This makes serving multiple projects on one server pretty painless. </p> </blockquote> <h2>Securing a repository with SSL</h2><blockquote> <p> Using either of the CGI script approaches, it is trivial to use SSL to secure the server. Simply set up the Fossil CGI scripts etc. as above, but modify the Apache (or IIS, etc.) server to require SSL (that is, a URL with "https://") in order to access the CGI script directory. This may also be accomplished (on Apache, at least) using appropriate ".htaccess" rules. </p> |

</ul> <p> Both of these commands start a Fossil server on port 8080 on the local machine, which can be accessed with the URL: <tt>http://localhost:8080/</tt> using any handy web browser. The difference between the two commands is that "ui", in addition to starting the Fossil server, also starts a web browser and points it to the URL mentioned above. On the other hand, the "ui" command binds to the loopback IP address only (127.0.0.1) so that the "ui" command cannot be used to serve content to a different machine. </p> <p> NOTES: <ol> <li>The option "--port NNN" will start the server on port "NNN" instead of 8080. <li>If port 8080 is already being used (perhaps by another Fossil server), then Fossil will use the next available port number. ................................................................................ <p> Once the script is set up correctly, and assuming your server is also set correctly, you should be able to access your repository with a URL like: <tt>http://mydomain.org/cgi-bin/repo</tt> (assuming the "repo" script is accessible under "cgi-bin", which would be a typical deployment on Apache for instance). </p> </blockquote> <h3>Serving multiple repositories with one script</h3><blockquote> <p> This scenario is almost identical to the previous one. However, here we will assume you have multiple repositories, in one directory. (Call the directory 'fossils'). All repositories served, in this case, must use the ".fossil" filename suffix. As before, create a script (again, 'repo'): <blockquote><tt> #!/path-to/fossil<br> directory: /path-to-repo/fossils<br> notfound: http://url-to-go-to-if-repo-not-found/ </tt></blockquote> </p> <p> Once deployed, a URL like: <tt>http://mydomain.org/cgi-bin/repo/XYZ</tt> will serve up the repository "fossils/XYX.fossil" (if it exists). This makes serving multiple projects on one server pretty painless. </p> </blockquote> <h2>Securing a repository with SSL</h2><blockquote> <p> Using either of the CGI script approaches, it is trivial to use SSL to secure the server.
