Summary: Completely unclear how to run a .zim file Product: openZIM Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: zimreader AssignedTo: tommi@tntnet.org ReportedBy: o.jasper@gmail.com CC: dev-l@openzim.org Estimated Hours: 0.0
I am sure the `zim` command can use a .zim file like schools-wikipedia-full-20081023-rc5.zim and put it up on http://localhost:8080/, but i cannot figure out how. Suggest to put an example using a .zim file in the man page.
PS looks like you have a pretty cool project!

--- Comment #2 from Emmanuel Engelhart emmanuel@engelhart.org 2011-07-28 08:56:52 CET --- The HTTP server binary from the openZIM project is called "zimreader̈". You may get more information about it by reading this page: http://openzim.org/Zimreader
There is also an alternative with a similar purpose called "kiwix-serve". You may get more information about it by reading this page: http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Kiwix-serve
Both only run on GNU/Linux (and potentially other unixes)

--- Comment #3 from Jasper den Ouden o.jasper@gmail.com 2011-07-28 12:53:58 CET --- Thanks, the pacman(arch linux) version didn't have it command. Maybe i should have looked better, but this seems to me like something that the manual/manpage should mention.
So i guess I'll try to compile it. Hope it doesn't have too many deps i have to install manually.(Looks like just cxxtools so far)

--- Comment #4 from Jasper den Ouden o.jasper@gmail.com 2011-07-29 22:14:17 CET --- Created an attachment (id=9) --> (http://bugs.openzim.org/attachment.cgi?id=9) [r362]output of `make` in `zim/zimreader/` (After successfull `./configure`)
FTR i couldn't get it to compile, `make` gave the arror as in the attachment while trying to compiler zimreader. I cannot find the zim::File class to see what getMTime should be.

--- Comment #5 from Emmanuel Engelhart emmanuel@engelhart.org 2011-08-03 11:34:58 CET --- Please try with kiwix-serve, this is really easy to use and I can give you a support it (unlike for zimreader).
