To use LiteWebServer (LWS), you need:
- A Java 2 (J2SE) runtime environment, version
1.3 or later. If you plan to install the JSP
Module, you need the SDK, which includes the Java
compiler needed to compile JSP pages. Otherwise
the JRE version is sufficient. If you don't have
a Java 2 environment installed, you can download
it for free from
Sun's
J2SE pages.
This is the distribution you need to run LWS. It's
an InstallAnywhere™ GUI installer, so it's easy
to install.
Base Module
Current Version: 3.0.3
Read the
release notes for
details about this version.
Download the installer file for your operating system
to your computer. Make sure
you save the file with the original name; some
browsers suggest an invalid name in the Save File
dialog.
After downloading, double-click lws-3.0.3
(Windows and MacOS X) or execute lws-3.0.3.bin
in a shell (all other OSs) to install LWS. Follow the
instructions in
the Reference Manual
to get started using it. Don't forget to sign up for our
mailing list to receive
information about new releases.
The installers don't work as they should with some
Linux/Java combinations. If you have problem running
the installer, try this plain ZIP file instead:
lws-3.0.3.zip.
Unpack it with the Java jar xvf lws-base-3.0.2.zip
command (or some other unzip program) and make the
scripts executable (chmod +x bin/*.sh).

Add-On Modules
Add-on modules, such as the JSP Module, must be
downloaded and installed using the JustGetIt™
module manager application bundled with the Base
Module.
This is the distribution you need if you want to
study or modify the LWS modules. Each file contains
a directory structure with all source code for the
module plus an
Ant
build.xml file that you can adapt to your
environment. Read the README-SRC.txt file
in the distribution package for details on how to
compile the source code.
