Lab 5 involved downloading and using a free ftp web server known as Apache. Our testing home page had the text 'It works!' on it.
httpd.conf was the main configuration file for the Apache server. There were other configuration files as well used for different languages, manuals, and user directories. Apache supports 27 different languages.
The path to our document root directory was C:/Program Files/Apache/Apache2.2/
We changed our browser to Portuguese [pt]
Apache also works on Unix systems. I wouldn't recommend Apache for commercial applications because you could get more security and features from a non-freeware web server.
127.0.0.1 is the default address because it is the home address. An external connection can be made by using the IP of 10.10.2.2
IP address ports identify the service provided. For example port 80 identifies a web server where 14147 would identify a FTP server.
http://10.10.2.2/aboutme.html
This link would take you to the about me page on our web server.
