Paths & Labels Preferences

See Paths and Filenames for more information on file and server paths, or Setting Up a Web Server for details on DNS and URLs.

HTTP Server Name
Enter the DNS (Domain Name System) name of your server, such as “www.foo.edu”. The root URL of your server will be shown in the example below the entry field. If you have not already set a DNS name, enter the IP number of your server (such as "192.188.119.14"). 

The DNS is a database system for linking IP numbers with a more human-readable naming scheme. You may need to talk with your site administrator about naming your server in the local DNS.

Port
The MacHTTP server software defaults to port 80. Unless you have made explicit changes (or don't know what this means), leave this blank.

HTTP Server Folder
Use the Set button to locate your HTTP server application. The path to the server is automatically entered into the field at right. This is used to determine whether a document path is within the server folder when building URLs.

Show and Use Full PathName
When checked, uses the full pathname to the document when exporting. When unchecked, exports the document to the currently default folder. See Export for more information. 

Use Full Path in Index
This button is also located on the Index card. When checked, displays the full pathname of each document in the document index. When unchecked, displays only the document name. 

Show Labels in Index
When checked, shows the labels and Label menu on the Index card.

Labels
The Label menu mimics the operation of the Label menu found on the Index card. The second column displays the current path associated with each label. [The association of label to path is not implemented in this version.]
