I’m in school, I don’t know anything about Web Programming, although I’m an excellent Desktop Programmer...Anyway, they forced me into an Online class, and I totally can’t understand whatever the teacher isn’t telling us.

 

So that’s where I am. I’m trying to get UniformServer to run. I just got it installed on my flash drive and I was so excited; it works…Comes up with LocalHost…But now I need to get it to do stuff…

 

I need to create like a virtual directory so that I can type in: http://localhost/mark (my name) and then I need my Perl project to come up. I’ll be able to do the Perl programming, but what I’m really asking is how do I get it to accept my http://localhost/mark? Simply putting a folder inside the …Uniform Server\diskw\home\admin\www doesn’t seem to help…I was just going simple too…I put in an HTML named it default.html and tried putting http://localhost/default.html and it still wouldn’t go. How do I get any of that to work. Eventually I really need the http://localhost/mark to work, but anything would be a step in the right direction.

Hi - the home folder is just for server admin. look for diskw\www\ THIS other www is the actual webroot. If you make a folder named mark inside diskw\www\ (diskw\www\mark\) and then put a simple index.html file in there saying "hello world" and then start the server and navigate with your browser to http://localhost/mark you should see your "hello world" message.
