- </P><P>
- 2. Copy the SDWEBSRV.EXE file into a temporary directory and decompress
- its contents by running it from the windows RUN command.
- </P><P>
- 3. Run the WEBSETUP.EXE file located in the temporary directory and follow
- the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
- </P>
-
- <P><FONT COLOR="#00FFFF"><B>DEFAULT DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:</B></FONT></P>
- <P>
- The installation will create the following default subdirectories:
- <PRE>
- c:\\sdweb The main server directory
- c:\\sdweb\\home Your home dir firewall edge
- c:\\sdweb\\home\\bin Executable directory
- c:\\sdweb\\home\\chat Chat system
- c:\\sdweb\\home\\download Public download area

- </PRE>
- </P>
-
- <P><FONT COLOR="#00FFFF"><B>STARTING THE WEB SERVER:</B></FONT></P>
- <P>
- Users with full-time net access and a permanent IP address should consider
- placing the SDWEBSRV.EXE file in their startup group. This will automatically
- start the server each time you restart your computer. Otherwise, simply click
- on the Personal Web Server Icon in the SmartDesk program group to start the
- mini-console (WCONSOLE.EXE). From there you can start and stop the server by
- clicking the appropriate button.
- </P><P>
- Dial-up users and users without a permanent IP address should first access
- the net prior to running the Personal Web Server from the SmartDesk program
- group.
- </P>
-
- <P><FONT COLOR="#00FFFF"><B>ACCESSING THE WEB SERVER:</B></FONT></P>
-
- <P>
- Once installed, the server can be accessed from any browser on the net by
- entering the IP address displayed in the second line of the web server
- startup display, such as:
- <P>
- <PRE>
- http://24.1.130.243
- </PRE>
- <P>
- Additionally, you can use the SmartDesk Virtual Name Server included in this
- Web Suite to provide access to your web site without cryptic addressing.
- </P>
-
- <P><FONT COLOR="#00FFFF"><B>CUSTOMIZING YOUR WEB SITE:</B></FONT></P>
- <P>
- You can customize your web server by changing the initial startup page users
- see when first visiting your site which is currently set to the INDEX.AP
- active page, and adding your own HTML or AP pages. Active Pages are
- identical to HTML pages except they can have embedded dynamic content.
- </P>
-
- <P><FONT COLOR="#00FFFF"><B>CREATING DYNAMIC CONTENT:</B></FONT></P>
- <P>
- Everything necessary to create dynamic content including full database
- manipulation is included as part of this Personal Web Suite. Active Pages
- have a file extension of ".AP" and can contain any combination of HTML, FGL,
- Java, or other web-supported languages.
- </P><P>
- Examine the AP files located in the home, system, and chat directories located
- beneath your main server directory for specific examples. Or contact our web
- site for additional information.
- </P><P>
- The ideal resource for creating dynamic content in this environment is the
- SmartDesk VM SDK, which is available free from the SmartDesk web site.
- </P>
-
- <P><FONT COLOR="#00FFFF"><B>ACCESSING THE SERVER LOG:</B></FONT></P>
- <P>
- A real-time log file is automatically maintained in the directory where you
- installed the server. This is a standard ASCII text file that can be viewed
- and manipulated at will.
- </P><P>
- Additionally, the Update Log utility is provided to automatically convert the
- text file to a full indexed database which can be browsed via the online
- log portion of your Personal Web Server web site.
- </P><P>
- Running the update program removes the entries in the ASCII file and moves
- them into the log database. This occurs without your server having to go
- off-line.
- </P>
-
- <P><FONT COLOR="#00FFFF"><B>HOT UPDATES TO THE SERVER:</B></FONT></P>
- <P>
- You may alter the default behavior of the server dynamically without having
- to take your server off-line. This occurs by changing the default server
- "handler" SDWEBCFG.DAT located in the windows directory. This file is a
- standard ASCII text file containing FGL source code. When the file is
- changed, simply click on the HOT FLASH button in the mini-console, issue
- the following command from the SmartDesk Command Line (part of the SmartDesk
- VM SDK): webServerConfigReload( ), or optionally restart your server.
- </P>
