# svnweb-server(1p)

simple webserver for SVN::Web

## NAME

svnweb-server - simple webserver for SVN::Web

## SYNOPSIS

```
  svnweb-server [--root DIR] [--port PORT] [--net-server Net::Server]
```

## DESCRIPTION

svnweb-server is a webserver that runs SVN::Web.  It's an easy way to use SVN::Web without having to set up Apache (or any other web server).  The tradeoff is that the server is very simple.  But for light use then it may be perfectly acceptable.

## OPTIONS

- \--root DIR

  The directory in which you ran `"svnweb-install"`.

  Optional, defaults to `"."`.

- \--port PORT

  The port the server should listen on.

  Options, defaults to `8080`.

- \--net-server Net::Server

  The Net::Server subclass to use to create the server.  A single, non-forking server is created by default.  Other types of server can be created by giving the correct Net::Server subclass.  For example, to use a server that forks to handle each request, use `"--net-server` `Net::Server::Fork"`.

## SEE ALSO

SVN::Web

## BUGS

This is a simple server.  Accordingly, a few features do not work properly at the moment.

- Redirects

  SVN::Web::Browse will redirect the client if the URL is missing a trailing `"/"`.  That redirection does not work with this server.  That's not an issue for any URLs generated by SVN::Web, but may be an issue for URLs that are entered by hand.

  This will also affect SVN::Web::List's `"redirect_to_browse_when_one_repo"` option.

- cgi\_class

  The `"cgi_class"` declaration (if any) in *config.yaml* is ignored.  CGI is always used as the CGI class.
