- Step three: A client that wants to contact a hidden service needs to
- learn about its
- onion address first. After that, the client can initiate connection
- establishment by downloading the descriptor from the distributed hash
- table. If
- there is a descriptor for XYZ.onion (the hidden service could also be
- offline or have left long ago, or there could be a typo in the onion
- address), the client now knows the set of introduction points and the
- right public key to use. Around this time, the client also creates
- a circuit to another randomly picked relay and asks it to act as
- <em>rendezvous point</em> by telling it a one-time secret.

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#one">Step One: Install a web server locally</a></h2>
<br>
- <p>First, you need to set up a web server locally. Setting up a web
- server can be tricky,
- so we're just going to go over a few basics here. If you get stuck
- or want to do more, find a friend who can help you. We recommend you
- install a new separate web server for your hidden service, since even
- if you already have one installed, you may be using it (or want to use
- it later) for an actual website.

- <p>If you're on Unix or OS X and you're comfortable with
- the command-line, by far the best way to go is to install <a
- href="http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/";>thttpd</a>. Just grab the
- latest tarball, untar it (it will create its own directory), and run
- <kbd>./configure && make</kbd>. Then <kbd>mkdir hidserv; cd
- hidserv</kbd>, and run
- <kbd>../thttpd -p 5222 -h localhost</kbd>. It will give you back your prompt,
- and now you're running a webserver on port 5222. You can put files to
- serve in the hidserv directory.
+
+ <p>
+ Once you've got your web server set up, make
+ sure it works: open your browser and go to <a
+ href="http://localhost:5222/";>http://localhost:5222/</a>, where
+ 5222 is the port that you picked above. Then try putting a file in
+ the main html directory, and make sure it shows up when you access
+ the site. The reason we bind the web server only to localhost is to
+ make sure it isn't publically accessible. If people could get to it
+ directly, they could confirm that your computer is the one offering
+ the hidden service.
</p>
-
- <p>If you're on Windows, you might pick <a
- href="http://savant.sourceforge.net/";>Savant</a> or <a
- href="http://httpd.apache.org/";>Apache</a>, and be sure to configure it
- to bind only to localhost. You should also figure out what port you're
- listening on, because you'll use it below.
