Before configuring the filer to provide HTTP service, you must decide which directory
path that the filer uses as the home directory for files to be accessed by HTTP clients.
The path name for the directory uses the following format:
/vol/volume_name/directory_name
For example, to use the /home/html_files directory path on the vol0 volume, you use
the following path:
/vol/vol0/home/html_files

NOTE: All lines within filer configuration files must end with a carriage return.
To configure HTTP service, perform the following steps:
1. At the filer console, enter the following command to enable the HTTP daemon:
options httpd.enable on
2. Use the following command syntax to specify the root of the path that HTTP
requests can use:
options httpd.rootdir pathname
