Mfscgiserv is a very simple HTTP server written just to run the MooseFS CGI scripts. It does not support any additional features like HTTP authentication. However, the MooseFS CGI scripts may be served from another full-featured HTTP server with CGI support, such as lighttpd or Apache. When using a full-featured HTTP server such as Apache, you may also take advantage of features offered by other modules, such as HTTPS transport. Just place the CGI and its data files (index.html, mfs.cgi, chart.cgi, mfs.css, logomini.png, err.gif) under chosen DocumentRoot. If you already have an HTTP server instance on a given host, you may optionally create a virtual host to allow access to the MooseFS CGI monitor through a different hostname or port.
