Maybe I'm dense or I don't understand your question. It sounds like you want to run lighttpd or apache on this USB device in order to serve up your website. If so, then the device would have to be assigned a separate IP address from the machine it's mounted on. Someone would have to be able to surf to that IP at least, much less have the IP address translated into a name. Otherwise, there's no way a web server can serve up a website; it has to have an IP address. I don't know how you'd possibly do that. Even then, you'd have to mount the device and then issue a separate call to the USB-hosted web server to start, and then serve your site up. If that's what you mean, maybe someone else knows an answer, but I can't imagine a less-than-byzantine way of doing it. If you just want to have a copy of the website itself on the device, you could either copy it to the document root of the webserver on the machine, or mount it at a point within the doc root. Otherwise, the web server won't see it as a website to serve up. Paul -- Paul M. Foster -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
