Using Silk

Silk is a toy web server, written in PHP to run on top of Eregansu itself. It’s no real use as a “proper” web server, but it’s sometimes useful for testing.

To launch silk, simply run the following from your application root:

$ ./eregansu silk

You will probably see output similar to the following:

silk: Warning: Session directory /var/php/5.2/sessions is not writeable, using /var/tmp/
silk: Listening on port 8998

Now, you can point your web browser at localhost:8998 (or someotherhost:8998 if you’re working on a remote host), and you’re away.
