Web Server Information
Working with a creating web pages means that you will need to understand web servers, uploading and downloading files, and how networks and the Internet work.
A web server is both hardware and software. What I mean by that is that there is an actual computer (hardware) that acts as the web server and can be running several different type of operation systems such as
- Windows XP
- Windows 2000
- Windows 98
- Linux
- Unix
- Others
A web server is also a software application (program) that is running on the computer (hardware) that is the web server. Some of the software web servers are:
- Apache Web Server
- Windows Internet Information Server (IIS Web Server)
- IPlanet Web Server (formerly Netscape Web Server)
- Others
What the process is for working on web pages and publishing them (making them live on the internet.
When you first create you web pages you first created them on your computer that you work on in class. What you must do with you web site is upload it to a developement web server that acts as the preview web server before your web site is actually made live on the Internet.
The web server that will be acting as the development server in this
class is the computer called YATechcity. The web URL (web address) for
YATechcity is:
http://yatechcity.boston.k12.ma.us/rlamothe
. That is where you will be uploading your web file including your html
files and your graphic files such your .jpg or .gif files. |
