Set up Python simpleHTTPserver on Windows
PythonWindowsPython 3.xSimplehttpserverPython Problem Overview
I want to set up Python SimpleHTTPServer
on Windows XP. I have Python installed on my computer. I am executing the following command:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888
But I am getting the error:
C:\Python33\python.exe: No module named SimpleHTTPServer
Is SimpleHTTPServer
for Python available on Windows? If yes, what do I do to set up the server?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
From Stack Overflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7943751/what-is-the-python3-equivalent-of-python-m-simplehttpserver:
SimpleHTTPServer
is for python2
, so you're getting the error.
In python3
, The following works:
python -m http.server [<portNo>]
Because using Python 3, the module SimpleHTTPServer
has been replaced by http.server
, at least in Windows.
