WEB server and its configuration

Make sure your WEB server is up and running. WebSTAR has a control center. See figure 4. In this instance there are three ports set up on the server.

Sample Company Information at http://192.0.1.2 port 81 is the WebSTAR samples server that illustrates how someone might set up an internal corporate Web server. The documentation for this can be found in the Manuals directory of the TotalWeb CD.

WebSTAR Demonstration Tree at http://192.0.1.2 (the WEB servers document root) contains information on WebSTAR and its features, plus pages to illustrate it's CGI capabilities. The documentation for this can be found in the Manuals directory of the TotalWeb CD.

Superbase Internet at http://192.0.1.2 port 82 is the samples directory for all the Superbase examples. Port 82 points to the document root directory for Superbase.

Examining the properties of the Superbase Internet in figure 5 the document root directory default is set to E:\Quarterdeck\WebSTAR\ DOCTREES\sb. It is assigned to port 82 of the host address.

The directory list in figure 6 shows the default home page as index.htm. This is the default page that will be loaded if you don't give a specific page name in the URL address in your browser (http://192.0.1.2:82).

In figure 7 there are 2 aliases given.

The alias type Image Map has a requested URL of /imagemaps in the E:\Quarterdeck\WebSTAR\DOCTREES\sb\SBIMAGES directory. All imagemaps should go here.

The alias type Windows CGI has a requested URL of /cgi-win in the E:\Quarterdeck\WebSTAR\CGI-BIN\WIN directory. This tells the WEB server where to look for CGI-WIN programs, in this case SBHTML.EXE.

Figure 8 shows the security features. Here you can restrict access to users per directory. The document root directory for Superbase is given here with no permissions denied.
