INTRODUCTION
------------
the "webserver" program:
webserver [-i ip_addr] [-p http_port] [-s] [-t tracefile]
- [-c] [remotehost [remoteport]]
+ [-c] [-f] [remotehost [remoteport]]
*or*
webserver [-i ip_addr] [-p http_port] [-s] [-t tracefile]
- [-c] uds /your/citadel/directory
+ [-c] [-f] uds /your/citadel/directory
Explained:
available network interfaces. Normally this will be the case, but if
you are running multiple Citadel systems on one host, it can be useful.
- -> http_port: the TCP port on which you wish your WebCit server to run.
- This can be any port number at all; there is no standard. Naturally,
- you'll want to create a link to this port on your system's regular web
- pages (presumably on an Apache server running on port 80). Or, if you
- are installing WebCit on a dedicated server, then you might choose to
- use port 80 after all.

+ -> http_port: the TCP port on which you wish your WebCit server to run. If
+ you are installing WebCit on a dedicated server, you can use the
+ standard port 80. Otherwise, if port 80 is already occupied by some
+ other web service (probably Apache), then you'll need to select a
+ different port. If you do not specify a port number, WebCit will attempt
+ to use port 2000.
+
-> tracefile: where you want WebCit to log to. This can be a file, a
virtual console, or /dev/null to suppress logging altogether.
-> The "-s" option causes WebCit to present an HTTPS (SSL-encrypted) web
service. If you want to do both HTTP and HTTPS, you can simply run two
instances of WebCit on two different ports.
+
+ -> The "-f" option tells WebCit that it is allowed to follow the
+ "X-Forwarded-For:" HTTP headers which may be added if your WebCit service
+ is sitting behind a front end proxy. This will allow users in your "Who
+ is online?" list to appear as connecting from their actual host address
+ instead of the address of the proxy. In addition, the
+ "X-Forwarded-Host:" header from the front end proxy will also be honored,
+ which will help to make automatically generated absolute URL's (for
+ things like GroupDAV and mailing list subscriptions) correct.
-> remotehost: the name or IP address of the host on which your Citadel
server is running. The default is "localhost".
GRAPHICS
--------
- WebCit contains a small amount of graphics (icons, etc.) which are kept
+ WebCit contains graphics, templates, JavaScript code, etc. which are kept
in its "static" subdirectory. All site-specific graphics, however, are
fetched from the Citadel server.
