Resin provides several configuration options. We suggest you use the Resin standalone web server option first. If you need a specific feature of another web server, you can later configure Resin to work with that web server.

Quick Start

Quick Start for the Impatient

The Resin standalone web server starts listening to HTTP requests on port 8080 and listens on port 6802 for any Apache or IIS plugin.

Preconditions

Resin needs Java before it can run.

Configuration overview

Resin has a number of major configuration options, each with a separate page:

Standalone Web Server

The easiest and fastest Resin configuration uses the Resin httpd .

Resin with Apache

If you are already using Apache for your web server, you can use Resin with Apache on Unix or Win32 .

Resin with IIS

You can also combine IIS and Resin .

Resin Web Server on Unix or Windows

Resin provides a fast standalone web server. In our benchmarks, it serves static pages faster than Apache! For many sites, the standalone web server is ideal because of its performance and because it is easier to configure and maintain than using a separate web server.
