httpdocs-directory

Could you please give your users the possibility to specify the position of the httpdocs-directory using the ini-file and/or a parameter for the commandline?

Thanks!

Because in the moment, the binary and the httpdocs-directory need to be in the same directory. But the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/) asks us to put the binaries into /usr/bin (or /bin, /sbin /usr/sbin) and the application data into /usr/share. When i put the binary into /usr/bin and someone tries to start it from there, he won't have a web-interface within that session.

Agreed. You could also have the program search the current directory and /usr/share/tss2 for the httpdocs subdirectory, if no directory is specified.

BTW, why is the server called "linux_server" instead of tss2? (Or to follow the pattern of daemons, ts2d. Or even teamspeak2d.) It's rather anonymous in the context of other service programs.

Because is a linux newbie

TS2 linux client uses the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard but Ralf is ignorant about that stuff. Ill tell him when he is back.

And forgive me my initial question, i thought you were referening to the windows platform.

We were all newbies once. And for those of us who are contantly poking our nose into new stuff, we remain newbies for life!

Confusious could not have said that better.
