How do I disable debug checks in yaws?

Question

When i start yaws (yaws -i --conf config/yaws.conf) i get this line in the output:

Running with debug checks turned on (slower server)

It depends on the "-i" option? Or where did i turned on debug checks? No mention of debug in the config file...

thx edoardo

This will be because your flags setting in the global config has the debug bit (2) set. If GC_DEBUG is set in the global configuration this feature will be enabled.

These are the flags:

-define(GC_TTY_TRACE,                        1).
-define(GC_DEBUG,                            2).
-define(GC_AUTH_LOG,                         4).
-define(GC_COPY_ERRLOG,                      8).
-define(GC_BACKWARDS_COMPAT_PARSE,          16).
-define(GC_LOG_RESOLVE_HOSTNAME,            32).
-define(GC_FAIL_ON_BIND_ERR,                64).
-define(GC_PICK_FIRST_VIRTHOST_ON_NOMATCH, 128).
-define(GC_USE_FDSRV,                      256).
-define(GC_USE_OLD_SSL,                    512).

I think that in the yaws.config file this is actually un-set by setting the debug = false flag in the global part.

Updated - the debug parameter is part of the env settings of the app in the yaws.app file, so adding something like

-yaws debug false

to the real command line should work

In recent versions of yaws (1.85 and later) you can simply pass the --nodebug option on the command line:

yaws -i --nodebug
