NOTES: You can use the filer as an HTTP server only if you purchased the license for
HTTP. Without the license, you can use an HTTP client (Web browser) only to display
the filers man pages and to use FilerView.
As with UNIX-based systems, the URL is case sensitive.

To start HTTP service on your filer, follow these steps:
1. Enable the httpd daemon by entering the following command:
RSWLRQVKWWSGHQDEOHRQ
2. Use the following command syntax to specify the root directory that contains the
files and directories to be read by HTTP clients:
RSWLRQVKWWSGURRWGLUGLUHFWRU\
For example, if the root directory is /vol/vol0/home/users/pages, enter the follow-
ing command:
RSWLRQVKWWSGURRWGLUYROYROKRPHXVHUVSDJHV
3. If you want to limit the size of the /etc/log/httpd.log log file to other than the
default of 2,147,483,647 bytes (2 GB minus 1 byte), use the following command:
RSWLRQVKWWSGORJPD[BILOHBVL]HE\WHV
4. Make a copy of /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample and name the copy /etc/
httpd.mimetypes.
If the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file is missing, the HTTP client uses the information in
/etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample.
