# HTTP Server Configuration Examples

# Start Http Server using Nginx

Using Windows as an example, assume that Nginx (opens new window) was installed on your system already. When you have Nginx server running, you can directly modify the nginx.conf in the conf directory, here we directly modify the configuration file to make webViewer run. Please follows the steps below:

  1. Download Foxit PDF SDK for Web package, unzip it to a folder.

  2. Locate to the Nginx/conf folder, open the nginx.conf, add the following listening information:

    server {
        listen 8080;
        server_name 127.0.0.1;
    
        location / {
            alias "gotopath/FoxitPDFSDKForWeb/";
            charset utf8;
            index index.html;
        }
    }
    
  3. Restart Nginx server, now you can access the webViewer at

    Complete webViewer address: http://localhost:8080/examples/UIExtension/complete_webViewer/
    Basic webViewer address: http://localhost:8080/examples/PDFViewCtrl/basic_webViewer/ 
    

Note : You can run the webViewer according to the above configuration, but at that time the snapshot feature cannot work correctly. The snapshot cannot be cached to clipboard, so that you cannot paste it to the location as desired. Please follow the steps below to build the snapshot server:

  1. Install node.js 9.0 or higher, if it is already installed, skip it.

  2. In a command prompt, navigate to the root directory of Foxit PDF SDK for Web.

  3. type npm install to install the required dependencies.

  4. type npm run start-snapshot-server to start the snapshot server (the default port is 3002).

    Note : If you want to specify the port for snapshot server as desired, you can change it in the server/snapshot/package.json file of Foxit PDF SDK for Web package. To find the default port 3002, and change it as you wish.

  5. Configure Nginx reverse proxy in nginx.conf:

    server {
        listen 8080;
        server_name 127.0.0.1;
    
        location / {
            alias "gotopath/FoxitPDFSDKForWeb/";
            charset utf8;
            index index.html;
        }
    
        location ~ ^/snapshot/(.+)$ {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3002/snapshot/$1$is_args$args;
            proxy_redirect off;
    
            proxy_request_buffering on;
    
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
    }
    
  6. Restart Nginx server, and refresh your browser, the snapshot feature should work correctly.

# Start Http Server using Nodejs

Assume that Node.js (opens new window) 9.0 or higher is available on your system already. Then follow the steps below to run the webViewer:

  1. Download Foxit PDF SDK for Web package, unzip it, navigate to the root folder and execute to install dependencies:

    npm install  
    
  2. Run the web server with the command below:

    npm start
    
  3. The webViewer can be assessed with the following address:

    Complete webViewer address: http://localhost:8080/examples/UIExtension/complete_webViewer/
    Basic webViewer address: http://localhost:8080/examples/PDFViewCtrl/basic_webViewer/
    

    Note: Using this method, you do not need to configure the proxy, the snapshot feature can be used normally. If you want to specify the ports for http-server and snapshot server as desired, you can change the two ports in the package.json file of Foxit PDF SDK for Web package.

    To change the port for http-server and snapshot server, find the default port 8080 and 3002 as below, and change it as you wish:

    "serve": {
        "port": 8080, 
        "public": "/",
        "proxy": {
            "target": "http://127.0.0.1:3002",
            "changeOrigin": true
        }
    }
