ESP8266 Community Forum

- Sat Jan 31, 2015 10:25 am #8606 Sorry to ask an entry level question -- I copied lhttpd.lua (renamed init.lua),index.pht,index.html to ESP8266; ran lhttpd.lua having no problem. But, attempting http://.../index.pht in Windows got time out. Is there instruction somewhere on how to use lhttpd? Thanks.

Using ESPlorer v0.1 build 206 on a ESP03 module I'm getting unexpected symbol error. The only modification i made is renaming init.lua file to lhttpd.lua

Code: Select allNodeMCU 0.9.5 build 20150118  powered by Lua 5.1.4

> for n,s in pairs(file.list()) do print(n.." size: "..s) end
log.txt size: 17
index.html size: 230
lhttpd.lua size: 3020
index.pht size: 848

> dofile("lhttpd.lua")
lhttpd.lua:1: unexpected symbol near '?'

Any ideas?

Here is what I got -- after the MemUsage, there is nothing in the web browser side.

- Tue Feb 03, 2015 12:51 pm #8867 I asked the question in earlier post that I cannot get anything output to web browser side on using lhttpd.lua. Does anyone know if this is related to the following.

I can use client:send(...) only once. For example, the following code only sends out "Test send" to the browser.
---------------
srv=net.createServer(net.TCP)
srv:listen(80,function(conn)
conn:on("receive", function(client,request)
local buf = "";

--buf = buf.."<h1>Test send</h1><hr>"
--buf = buf.."<p>This is test1.</p>"
--buf = buf.."<p>This is test2.</p>"
--client:send(buf);

client:send("<h1>Test send</h1><hr>");
client:send("<p>This is test1.</p>");
client:send("<p>This is test2.</p>");

conn:on("sent",function(conn) conn:close(); conn = nil; end)
end)
end)

The firmware version is: NodeMcu 0.9.5 build 20150105 powered by Lua 5.1.4, which is the default of https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher. (Following the "Flash the Firmware" instructions on https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware to the latest firmware version didn't work.)

Thank you.
