#MochiWeb - Erlang
#Getting started

#Start by getting a copy of MochiWeb using Git:

$ git clone git://github.com/mochi/mochiweb.git

#MochiWeb source tree contains a README file that tells you how to create a new project. Let’s create a project called greeting:

$ cd mochiweb
$ make app PROJECT=greeting

#We can now compile the code for our new app and start it:

$ cd ../greeting/
$ make

#if  ./mochiweb_request.erl:9: can't find include lib "kernel/include/file.hrl"

#then

#you have to install the package "erlang_dev" to include/use some libraries such as "stdlib/include/qlc.hrl"

#Another problem that was encountered is related to the universe APT repository was commented out in /etc/apt/sources.list. Once #I enabled them and apt-get install erlang-src erlang-tools


$ apt-get install erlang-dev erlang-tools erlang-src

#Now you can start the server
$ ./start-dev.sh

#You should see a bunch of PROGRESS REPORT messages. Among those message you should see something like {port,8080} which tells #you that your app is running on port 8080. You can now point your browser at http://localhost:8080 and you should see a message #telling you that it’s successfully running.

#If you go back to the terminal and press return you’ll get an Erlang shell that you can use to interact directly with your app. #It will come very handy for debugging or experimenting with libraries, similarly to the ./script/console of Ruby on Rails or #the manage.py shell of Django.

Thank you
