Hi, I have downloaded httpServer app from: [https://github.com/legatoproject/legato-af/tree/master/apps/sample/httpServer](https://github.com/legatoproject/legato-af/tree/master/apps/sample/httpServer) I cannot compile the project. I use VSCode wp76 legato version 18.06.3 and wp77 legato version 19.11.5. I have got following error: [78/600] Running external build step FAILED: lighttpdExternalBuild\_line0 … ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. Could you help. Thanks ---

You can see here, it should be fine > [@httpServer app can't link to lighttpd](https://forum.legato.io/t/httpserver-app-cant-link-to-lighttpd/5354/7): > > Thanks for the reply, I am still getting that HTTP 500 error message. And when I try to right click and save the .py on my computer it saves a web page with the HTTP 500 message.

Thanks for quick reply, but I do not have problem with not working link. I have got problem with compiling the httpServer app. I have changed version to swi-fx30-catm\_3.0.0 and I have got components/sslCertComponent/gen.sh: Permission denied ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/legato1/original/2X/9/99e8f08afe1a81321bea36c1c7a8a8c879a91738.png) So I have switched off sslCertComponent because this generates certificate only and it has compiled, but now i cannot start the program ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/legato1/original/2X/d/d71e2461ff53509bbebf5dfcfcd9ae06f6488322.png) Error i have got when i try to start it ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/legato1/original/2X/7/7a84a6321b85c2e62f246de152986edfdc144caf.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/legato1/original/2X/d/d85e941cc683a3a27a00df69ec507e39c89df5a7.png) Link [http://192.168.2.2:8080/diagnostics.py](http://192.168.2.2:8080/diagnostics.py) does not work of course. Iptables is setup. ---

You can try my application, I can compile with swi-fx30-catm\_3.0.0. 1. leaf shell 2. cd httpServer/Target\_Legato\_Debug 3. make [httpServer\_unsandboxed.zip](https://forum.legato.io/uploads/short-url/fErPYDheZfaX8uPXpWhCkRCCHtU.zip) (9.8 MB) ---

Just a reminder, if you want to compile for WP76 module, you need to open the Makefile and change target to wp76xx instead of wp77xx
