Installation instructions

Welcome to the complete guide to html. These documents are intended for life on a server. Non server versions of these documents are no longer being supported. However you should still be able to load these documents into your favourite www browser.

NOTE    MSwindows users should remember the 3 character filename extension 
        limit. All .conf files become .cnf files for you lucky people :-<.

0) Ihttpd

You should obtain ncsa httpd v1.3. This is available by ftp

For MsWindows [
Other platforms [ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu]

1) imagemap.html

Edit the file imagemap.html, replace "cgi-win" with whatever alias is used to point to the CGI scripts directory (normally cgi-bin).
replace "imagemap.exe" with whatever your imagemap program is called (normally "imagemap")

2) imagemap.conf

Add a htmlshelf entry to your imagemap.conf (in your httpd conf directory):

DOS:
htmlshelf : c:\httpd\conf\maps\books.map
(OR if you are using unix, replace httpd with wherever you're httpd installation is)
htmlshelf : /httpd/conf/maps/books.map

3) books.map

Add a books.map file in the conf/maps directory of your httpd installation.

4) srm.conf

All the documents in this guide refer to each other using the absolute directory /html. If you are unable or unwilling to install the documents in the html subdirectory of your DocumentRoot then you will need to add an alias to your srm.conf file of your httpd configuration.

E.g.

  Alias /html/ /htdocs/contrib/html/

5) renaming files

If you are on a UNIX system you will need to rename all the files with extensions ".htm" to ".html". This may already have been done for you.
