A resource is any object that can be accessed via the server. It is typically a collection of documents such as a directory or API and CGI scripts. All Resources are subject to security by means of access control and authentication.

PowerWeb Server++ can work with individual files, all files matching a given wildcard pattern, all directories matching a wildcard pattern, or simply an entire directory or an entire disk.

You can work randomly with any page, but it will be easier to work top down with the hierarchy, because some settings are inter-dependent and prompt for the next settings with some fields filled in by the previous page.

For example: Resources rely heavily on using templates so that you do not have re-configure settings repetitively. So when selecting a resource from the Directory Tree, you are linked into the Resource Editor which prompts you for the name of the template to use, along with the optional directory alias to enable users to access resources outside of the document root directory hierarchy.

You must submit each page after modifying it, but do not have to fill in all settings across all pages. Only relevant settings need to be completed. For example you do not have to add an alias or a template everytime you add a resource.

You will need to Save and Restart the Server to bring your changes into production.
