lighthttpd or uhttpd for a debian stretch supported Kirkwood platform
May 04, 2018 10:59AM
I have my Seagate GoFLEX Home device currently running on a debian ARM OS. I sure would like to install LightHTTPd package for my GoFLEX Home device. However, apt-get install lighthttpd reports no such a package (see below). Has anyone had a luck in this? Ordinary, I would prefer to install uhttpd (don't know if this micro-httpd package is the same); however, debian arm does not seem to have uhttpd package for ARMelf platform.

Bodhi, that works. Thank you.

BTW, I also encountered the same problem when trying to install micro-httpd package using apt-get install micro-httpd. However, when I manually downloaded the micro-httpd package and used apt-get install micro-httpd_20051212-15.1_armel.deb file, apt-get was able to give me a selection either to install the downloaded micro-httpd_20051212-15.1_armel.deb file or to fetch a micro-httpd package off of debian server. I chose the later and now my GoFLEX Home is up with micro-httpd. Honestly, I don't know why.

habibie,

It's probably a typo in the name when you try to install. Sometime it is best to do a search first, and then copy and paste the name. For example,

apt-cache search httpd | grep light
libanyevent-httpd-perl - simple lightweight event based web (application) server
lighttpd - fast webserver with minimal memory footprint
lighttpd-doc - documentation for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-authn-gssapi - GGSAPI authentication for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-authn-ldap - LDAP authentication for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-authn-mysql - MySQL authentication for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-cml - cache meta language module for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-geoip - GeoIP restrictions for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-magnet - control the request handling module for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-mysql-vhost - MySQL-based virtual host configuration for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-trigger-b4-dl - anti-deep-linking module for lighttpd
lighttpd-mod-webdav - WebDAV module for lighttpd
nginx-light - nginx web/proxy server (basic version)
libpion-5.0 - lightweight HTTP interface library - runtime files
libpion-dev - lightweight HTTP interface library - development files
libpion-doc - lightweight HTTP interface library - documentation
libpion-plugins - lightweight HTTP interface library - plugins
webfs - lightweight HTTP server for static content


apt-cache search httpd | grep micro
libmicrohttpd-dev - library embedding HTTP server functionality (development)
libmicrohttpd12 - library embedding HTTP server functionality
micro-httpd - really small HTTP server

Bodhi, thank you for your explanation. For micro-httpd package, I tried apt-get install micro-httpd and ended up with the same issue.
