ENiGMA½ comes with a built in *content server* for supporting both HTTP and HTTPS. Currently the [File Bases](../modding/file-base-web-download-manager.md) registers routes for file downloads, password reset email links are handled via the server, and static files can also be served for your BBS. Other features will likely come in the future or you can easily write your own!
# Configuration
By default the web server is not enabled. To enable it, you will need to at a minimum configure two keys in the `contentServers.web` section of `config.hjson`:
```hjson
contentServers: {
web: {
domain: bbs.yourdomain.com
web: {
domain: bbs.yourdomain.com
http: {
enabled: true
port: 8080
}
}
http: {
enabled: true
port: 8080
}
}
}
```

#### Certificates
If you don't have a TLS certificate for your domain, a good source for a certificate can be [LetsEncrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) who supplies free and trusted TLS certificates.
## Static Routes
Static files live relative to the `contentServers.web.staticRoot` path which defaults to `enigma-bbs/www`.
`index.html, favicon.ico`, and any error pages like `404.html` are accessible from the route path. Other static assets hosted by the web server must be referenced from `/static/`, for example:
```html
<a href="/static/about.html"> Example Link
```
## Custom Error Pages
Customized error pages can be created for [HTTP error codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#4xx_Client_Error) by providing a `<error_code>.html` file in the *static routes* area. For example: `404.html`.
