Setup

To set up the TinyWeb Server, just create a shortcut in the Startup menu with the following properties:

Target

c:\www\bin\tiny.exe c:\www\root

Start In

c:\www\log

Here, c:\www\bin\tiny.exe is the path to TinyWeb executable, c:\www\root is the path to www home (root) directory, and c:\www\log is the directory for log files that TinyWeb keeps.

TinyWeb is not a windowed application, so there is no window with TinyWeb. It is also not a console application, so there is no console window for TinyWeb. Moreover, it is not a Windows Service. Once started, the tiny.exe process will appear in Task List. There is no way to stop Tiny Web except via the „End Task” operation.

Command-line Options

1. First parameter (mandatory) is a path www home (root) directory.
2. Second parameter (optional) is a port number. By default, it is 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS(SSL/TLS).
3. Third parameter (optional) is a dotted-decimal IP address to bind the server. By default, TinyWeb binds to all available local addresses.

Examples

Run TinyWeb on port 8000:

c:\www\bin\tiny.exe c:\www\root 8000

Run TinyWeb on port 8000 and address 212.56.194.250:

c:\www\bin\tiny.exe c:\www\root 8000 212.56.194.250
