Use these links to view and test your programs:
NOTE: you can also view these files by simply typing the URL directly, for example:
http://localhost/Webtech/coursework/Chapter02/hello.html
Make a back up of your work at least weekly to be sure you don't lose code that you have worked hard on! To backup your work, copy your entire Webtech folder to another disk. If you ever have a problem with your working disk, you can reinstall your Web server, then copy your backup Webtech folder to the htdocs folder of your new installation. (Windows users: if you re-install the Web server you will want to rename the new Webtech folder that comes with this installation before copying your backup Webtech folder to the htdocs folder).
Chapter 2 explains this in detail but here are the basic steps to make changes to a file:
Sometimes you may make a number of changes to a file in the coursework or samples folders and then wish you could just start again! Your installation includes two folders named WEBTECH_ORIGINAL_samples and WEBTECH_ORIGINAL_coursework. These folders contain duplicates of the original files that came with your installation. Here two different ways to restore a file from these folders:
Appendix D in the textbook contains a lot of useful debugging hints.
You can edit this file to suite your own purposes. It is located in your Webtech folder and named index.html. You may find it useful to add some notes of your own, or you may want to include more links, for example if you create additional folders (see below).
You can also create additional folders if you want to develop your own work. These can be located under the Webtech folder or directly under the htdocs folder. Note that files that are located outside the htdocs folder will not be available for viewing on the Web server unles you change the default document directory settings.
