CS615A -- Aspects of System Administration - Spring 2013

Extra Credit Exercise (35 points): HTTP

Start a NetBSD EC2 instance. On it, install an HTTP server and configure it to listen on port 8080.

(For your convenience, a suitable PKG_PATH for NetBSD/i386 would be: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.0/All/)

Next, fetch the following two programs:

• test.cgi
• test2.cgi

Configure your web server such that a user can go to http://<your-instance-name:8080>/test.cgi and sees the message "Hello from <your username>", and to http://<your-instance-name:8080>/test2.cgi and sees the message "<your username> says: that was easy".

(For the second part, you will probably find the ktruss(1) command useful.)
