Afterburner

You can fetch a time-limited demo executable of Afterburner:

This demo will expire 30 days after you download it.

Once you have fetched the file, you unpack it like so:

  1. gunzip afterburner-2.11-FreeBSD.tar.gz
  2. tar xvf afterburner-2.11-FreeBSD.tar
  3. rm afterburner-2.11-FreeBSD.tar
This leaves you with a new directory called afterburner-2.11-FreeBSD containing these files: Test the system by starting up the server with a command such as:

./afterburner -p 8000
The 8000 is the port number you want the server to listen on for testing. There's some more info on the various command-line flags in the manual page. Verify that the sever is working by pointing your web browser at http://your.hostname.here:8000/ - you should get a page saying "Afterburner is running".

After you're satisfied that it's working, you can set up your real web site. Take a look at the Afterburner sample configuration guide.
