Re: [Cppcms-users] cppcms_run not accepting document root configuration switch

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

What is the web server?
Have you tried to provide a full path?

Most web servers require the document-root to be a full path.
 
Also note: Do not run cppcms_run as root... It is a bad idea. You don't need to run
it as root. If you are using nginx, it may give some warnings but it yet
runs.
