This is an attempt at solving the consilium challenge: https://github.com/NashFP/erlang-web-lab/tree/master/consilium Project Skeleton for the consilium app. You should find in this directory: README : this file Makefile : simple make commands rebar : the Rebar build tool for Erlang applications rebar.config : configuration for Rebar start.sh : simple startup script for running consilium /ebin /consilium.app : the Erlang app specification /src /consilium_app.erl : base module for the Erlang application /consilium_sup.erl : OTP supervisor for the application /consilium_resource.erl : a simple example Webmachine resource /priv /dispatch.conf : the Webmachine URL-dispatching table /www : a convenient place to put your static web content You probably want to do one of a couple of things at this point: 0. Build the skeleton application: $ make - or - $ ./rebar compile 1. Start up the skeleton application: $ ./start.sh 2. Change the basic application: edit src/consilium_resource.erl 3. Add some new resources: edit src/YOUR_NEW_RESOURCE.erl edit priv/dispatch.conf
