This describes how to bring up a WebSite server.
WebSite, just like Apache, began its life as a port of the NCSA httpd server. Robert Deny, the orignal developer, is now working with O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. and has made quite a number of improvements since the original distribution.
Bringing up a WebSite server is painless. It involves downloading the archive, uncompressing it, and doing the tiniest bit of configuration. Begin by acquiring the distribution from the download page at website.ora.com. After the archive is downloaded, uncompress it.
The uncompressed distribution will result in a self-extracting installer named "Ws11e" or something similar. Launch the installer and be prepared to answer:
- where will you be installing WebSite on our computer
- what is the IP address of your computer
- what is the email address of the WebSite administrator
After answering these quesetions, the installer will uncompress more files and save various system extensions in their proper locations. It will then add itself to your Start menu.
After restarting your computer, all your icons will be updated correctly, and all you have to do is select WebSite Server from your Start menu to begin.
