Personal Web Server (PWS)
Personal Web Server (PWS)
The Personal Web Server is a marvelous tool because it lets you develop and
test websites 
- Without being connected to the Internet
- Without placing your code on the World-Wide-Web or a server until it
is tested off-line and totally debugged.
The address of your personal web server is:
http://127.0.0.1
It has other aliases, like http://localhost but it true reliable name is the
one above.
At college the address will be the same as the workstation number, for example http://C156-01 or http://X015-01
Personal Web Manager |
 |
The Personal Web Server includes a program for administration. This program is
named the Personal Web Manager and is implemented in the PWS.EXE file. The PWS
setup program prepares two methods for easy access to the PWS administrator program.
First, there is ordinarily a shortcut named Personal Web Manager for use from
the Start menu (via Programs, Internet Explorer and Personal Web Server). Second,
registry entries are ordinarily set so that a program named PWSTRAY.EXE will run
automatically at startup. This leaves an icon in the system tray. The Personal
Web Manager can then be run easily by double-clicking that icon (or by right-clicking
on the icon and selecting Properties).
