NAME

gotweb.conf — gotweb configuration file

DESCRIPTION

gotweb.conf is the run-time configuration file for gotweb(8).

The file format is line-based, with one configuration directive per line. Any lines beginning with a ‘#’ are treated as comments and ignored.

Paths mentioned in gotweb.conf must be relative to /var/www, the chroot(2) environment of httpd(8).
