Personal Web Server?

[Midi]

Is there a component that's equivalent to the Personal Web Server in
XP Embedded? There's one called IIS Server, but it doesn't appear to
be equivalent...

Isn't this the "IIS Web Server" component?

HTH... Doug

Doug,
I think he might be asking if there is a Microsoft solution that will allow
for more than 10 HTTP sessions. I think it's called CE.NET.

lol, Midi you could also call on Heidi for her expertise with creating an
Apache component. I've never tried it, but if you can use PHP instead on ASP
your might go that route...

I'm about to redo the Apache component, to be easier to use, and I'll be
redoing the PHP component that goes with it, too. We rewrote our ASP
frontend in PHP because of footprint issues with IIS.

 

[Sean Gahan]

Uh...That was a poke at MS for including a limited version of IIS in XPE,
and CE.NET does have a web server.

Actually, I just need something that will serve up HTTP pages to
clients that request them, no PHP or ASP needed... I admit I'm
extremely unfamiliar with IIS, but when I added the IIS webserver
component, I couldn't figure out what file to execute to launch it or
configure it. Perhaps another component was missing? But if so, why
wasn't there a dependency on that component in order to make it run
properly?

Midi,
IIS has a default page and extension that it runs; make sure that you are
using the proper one. To check the settings open up Internet Information
Services and click on the Documents tab, you will see a white list box and
'Default.htm' as the first entry. This means that the 'Default.htm' is the
default page your server will serve to the client. If your directory does
not have a 'Default.htm' the next item is 'Default.asp' in which case if you
had that page, then it would be served. The order in which the files are
listed is the order in which they will be served. If you wish to use
'index.htm' then you will have to add it to the list (and will probably want
to move it to the top).

Sean, I wasn't making fun I was laughing at the fact that in order to
achieve what he wanted he had to go to another platform.

Well once I've got apache redone, it'll serve your web pages up just fine in
a smaller footprint than IIS, with a lot less dependencies. I've got it
running as a service and it works great.

 

[Sean Gahan]

Awesome, let me know when you're finished. I'd like to check it out.

I'll post about it. It may take me a while, as I have to do it on my own
time.
