The Optware section in Preware now has a web server available for installation on your Pre:
By default, you get access (over wifi by default - Pixi users see post#4 for assistance) to the directory listing of your USB /media/internal partition: (Note that for security reasons, the package has now been changed to only show the /media/internal/www directory. You can edit the configuration file to change this back to /media/internal.)
If you drop an index.html file, some javascript, and some images into /media/internal, you can serve the preware.org web site from your Pre:(This has now been changed to /media/internal/www.)
Don't have a desktop handy to browse the site you just created on your Pre? Use the built-in browser:
Documentation for Lighty is at http://www.lighttpd.net, and the configuration file is in /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

I don't know if I really want to do this or not, but the fact that it CAN be done is totally, unequivocally, frickin' awesome!!!
Oh come on, I want to serve my web page over EVDO too.

forgive this question, but how do you edit that file type?

It should just be a text file. Vi or similar will be fineforgive this question, but how do you edit that file type?

Basic Linux Use - WebOS Internalsforgive this question, but how do you edit that file type?
See http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pr...-transfer.html for how to transfer files on or off, or just use vi or Nano on the Pre.
I personally use Emacs and tramp to edit files on the Pre over wifi ... (using OpenSSH SFTP Server from the same Optware section in Preware).

I set this up from Preware and I can the list of files when I use localhost from my pre but on my Pc when I put http://192.168.1.4/ into my browser it wont connect.
Am I missing something?

Rod or anyone,
I am lost. Can you walk us through the steps to set this up?
I have read all of the links and installed everything I can think of...

2) Install Lighty Web Server in the Optware section of Preware
3) Access BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com on the Pre
4) Access http://ip-address-of-wifi-connected-pre/ (I really hope I don't get questions from people who actually type in the 'ip-address-of-wifi-connected-pre' string instead of understanding what is meant there)
Any more detail than that will need to be provided by the others who have already done this.

1) Install Preware

I got it to work for me without any problem. I have an index.html file in my media partition and if I type in BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com it goes to that page without any problem. Have you reset luna manager after installation?
Where can i start/stop the lighttpd service? 
In /etc/init.d/ is no lighttpd And in /opt/etc/init.d is nothing, too :/
And how can i display CPU load on the Webserver for my Palm Pre?
Thanks.

You know what would make this even better?? A patch that adds a switch/toggle anywhere in the gui to restart, shutdown and stop the server.
Thanks rwhitby! You guys never cease to amaze..

I'm hoping that someone will write a webOS front-end to the upstart manager service, which could then control this and many other upstart scripts from one front-end application.You know what would make this even better??

I just found this app, and it looks pretty interesting. I didn't see anything that specifically said this, so I just want to ask. Can this web browser work only over Wifi? Or is it accessable over EVDO
After you installed it, just type "localhost" in the browser and you see the whole file structure on your Pré. Worked straight out of the box for me.
I can now open a TiddlyWiki locally on my Pré, cool. Just have to work on the CSS a bit I guess.
To access your Pré from another PC, I found it easiest to log into my router and check there which IP addresses were used. Mine is on: http://192.168.178.36/
