A bit over a week ago we moved a slightly modified version of our project skeleton into the open source mochiweb repository, which gets you a start shell script, a skeleton application following (most of) the OTP paradigms, a Makefile, and a web server that serves static files out of priv/www .

The first thing you have to do is make sure mochiweb is built:

$ cd ~/src/mochiweb $ make (cd src;make) make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

After that you just run ./scripts/new_mochiweb.erl with the project name and destination (you can put a symlink of that script on your PATH somewhere).

$ ./scripts/new_mochiweb.erl mochidemo ~/src ...

Starting it is easy, just build with make and then run start.sh or start-dev.sh from ~/src/mochidemo . The only difference between the two at the moment is that start-dev.sh will poll for changes in ebin files and purge them automatically when they're updated. The default port is 8000 listening on all IPs and it's configured in src/PROJECT_sup.erl .

$ cd ~/src/mochidemo $ make ... $ ./start-dev.sh ... =PROGRESS REPORT==== 17-Dec-2007::20:58:33 === application: mochidemo started_at: nonode@nohost 1> http:request("http://127.0.0.1:8000/"). ... {ok,{&"HTTP/1.1",200,"OK"}, [{"date","Tue, 18 Dec 2007 04:58:55 GMT"}, {"server","MochiWeb/1.0 (Any of you quaids got a smint?)"}, {"content-length","88"}, {"content-type","text/html"}], "<html>
