How to use YAWS in Erlide - Erlang

Question

I have read that Erlang has a built-in webserver (YAWS); I am developing Erlang using the Eclipse plugin Erlide, I was wondering how I could access such a webserver, for example for running a simply 'hello world' PHP script; just for starting.

Answer 1

Yaws isn't built into Erlang — the built-in web server in Erlang is called inets . You can find more information on Yaws at the Yaws website , and you can find all the details of its PHP support in its PDF documentation . If you run into any trouble getting started with Yaws, you can ask for help on the Yaws mailing list .
