To start the ServerWorx
configuration program, go to the Start menu, choose "Programs" and
then "ScriptWorx 5" and finally choose "ServerWorx 5 Configuration".
IP Address of
Server
If you only use
the server for testing pages privately on your computer, usually you specify:
127.0.0.1
as your IP address.
However, should you wish to server pages onto a Local Area Network
or on the Internet, then you must specify the real IP address of your computer.
You can normally determine this by choosing "Run" from the Windows
Start menu, and entering:
winipcfg
in the box. Press
enter or click "OK" and you should see a new program, if not you may
wish to contact your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider.
If the program works, you should see your IP address, and this is the address
you should enter exactly.
Port to Listen
On
Every server or
service using TCP/IP (like the Internet) will only handle requests on a specific
port. Normally for web servers this is port number 80 (eight-zero) or 8088 (eight-zero-eight-eight)
which you should enter as a numerical value into this box. You can, of course,
use a different port, but some networks may block your connection. The most
common is port 80.
Server Name
You can either
specify a nickname for your server (such as "david") or if you own
your domain name you can enter it here (such as www.mydomainnamegoeshere.com.
Local File Path
The number of tech
support requests regarding this: too many!. We'll clarify this here and now.
This is the path that is equal to the root of your server directory. For example,
if you have a server running on http://myhostname/ - the default page name is
index.htm and this page would be located in a particular directory.
Examples:
| URL |
File
Path on Your Computer (Examples) |
| http://myhost/ |
C:\WWWPages |
| http://myhost/adirectory/ |
C:\WWWPages\adirectory |
| http://myhost/myfile.htm |
C:\WWWPages\myfile.htm |
Obviously, the
top option is the local file path that you would enter. However, you
can change this to anything you want, and could even be C:\WWWPages\HTML\Public
instead.
Log Names
This is the filename
for each type of log, such as access.log of errors.log. You should view the
logging standards page.
Error Documents
Most web servers
that encounter an error automatically assign it an error code,
and a document can be sent to the user if an error has occured. There are a
variety of error codes, but ServerWorx supports the most common (including 404,
eg. File Not Found). Please see our documentation on this by clicking
