After executing the above command, create a http server http server in linux vps often will automatically be killed(About one to two hours), that is why?

    What does the traceback say? There should be a `nohup.out` file in the directory where you ran this command. – Blender Sep 08 '13 at 18:22
  • SimpleHTTPServer shouldn't actually be used as a webserver like this. It's single-threaded, slow, and isn't fault-tolerant. If you need a webserver for static resources, use Nginx – Blender Sep 08 '13 at 18:43

Try nohup python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80 &

and also try to debug in nohup.out logs might be some memory constraint it gets killed.

  • error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe I feel as being the pythong SimpleHTTPServer is very slow and it takes few number of seconds to load the page without images.I would suggest that you can use node.js this link can be more helpful too http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12905426/faster-alternative-to-pythons-simplehttpserver – linux_fanatic Sep 08 '13 at 18:57
