The Wii Web Server is a homebrew application that allows you to run a web server on your Nintendo Wii gaming console.

Boot it with HBC. Once running, will run itself.

User guide

Setting up for alpha v1.10+

In a folder on the root of the sd called data create a folder called wws and make:

  • pass.txt - Containing your password (make sure is followed by new line).
  • port.txt - Containing the custom port number.
  • wwwo.txt - 1 for using /www on root or 0 for /data/web.

If the above files aren't found then the following defaults will be used:

  • pass.txt - All options that require a password are disabled.
  • port.txt - Default to port 80.
  • wwwo.txt - Default to the same as 0 which is /data/web.

Custom error pages

On the SD, create a folder called "error" in the /data/web folder and create pages called XXX.html where XXX is the error number for the custom page to replace, such as 404 for page not found and 500 for server errors

Directory Listing

There is no directory listing and your homepage must be called "index.html".

USB Storage

Put files on in the same directories as you would on the sd card, i.e in usb://data/web/.

If, for example, your file is usb://data/web/index.html, then the link to it is /usb/index.html.

If it is linked to as /index.html, then wii web server will load the index off of the sd card in sd://data/web/index.html.

Controls

Wiimote A/Home or Nunchuck C - Quit
