Hi everybody,
I want to announce here I have finished a first version of kiwix-serve.
kiwix-serve is an HTTP server able to serve any ZIM file an providing the
same search engine as Kiwix (like most of you knows based on Xapian).
It's base on libmicrohttpd library.
This is not as sophisticated and efficient as our zimreader but It works well and
I hope it is at least as easy to deploy. Hope also with it to be able to provide easily
many
of the Kiwix features.
You may have a look on two instances of it:
* WP0.7 :
http://library.kiwix.org:4201/
* 2008/9 Wikipedia Selection for schools :
http://library.kiwix.org:4202/
If you want to try it, please follow the next instructions... each feedback is welcome:
* download&compile&install Kiwix:
http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Compilation
* download a ZIM file (new format)... you know where ;)
* index your file: kiwix-index [ZIM_PATH] [INDEX_PATH]
* start kiwix-serve: kiwix-serve [ZIM_PATH] [PORT] [INDEX_PATH]
You may also run kiwix-serve without index, but in this case you won't have access to
the search engine.
Regards
Emmanuel
