Microsoft's Mac Web Server
Microsoft's personal web server works well with Frontier.
Good morning!I just got a beta release of Microsoft's personal web server software. It was very easy to get it to work with Frontier.
Downloading
You can download the server software from:
ftp://ftp.scripting.com/microsoft/personalWebServer/build021.hqx
Send bug reports to pwsmbugs@microsoft.com and cc feature requests to laurena@microsoft.com.
I'm running the Microsoft server
You can run this script on my LAN:
http://206.204.24.6/samples.tellParams.fcgi
Or check out the Hello World CGI...
http://206.204.24.6/helloWorld.fcgi
It was really easy to set up and seems to work well.
Connecting with Frontier
Create an alias of the Frontier application in the "My Personal Web Site" folder called frontier.acgi.
That's all you need to do, you don't have to set up an action or suffix mapping. It ships with a built-in connection to Frontier, it knows to map suffixes ending with ".fcgi" to the app named frontier.acgi in the web content folder.
To test it out, type:
http://www.yourserver.com/samples.tellParams.fcgiinto your web browser, of course subsituting the domain name or IP address of your server in place of "www.yourserver.com".
