Support FAQ
Q: Who should read this document? A: You should read this if you have a problem downloading, installing, or using the program itself. Q: Where do I report bugs? A: Go to the Help Area to research reported bugs and fixes. If your bug is not there, please fill out a problem request form or send E-Mail to Q: Are there MAC and Linux versions of MyWebServer? A: We are not currently working on supporting other platforms. If you think we should send your thoughts to Q: Can I use MyWebServer with SOCKS? A: MyWebServer does not support SOCKS proxy servers or other types of proxy servers. Q: How do I configure my firewall to use MyWebServer? A: MyWebServer should work with any firewall. Most firewalls are configured to pass traffic on port 80 or else it would block all web access completely. This means that if you are located behind a firewall your Web Browser can connect to a computer that is on the internet running MyWebServer. In most cases this also means that if the computer running MyWebServer is located behind the firewall it will not be accessible from the internet. Q: What does 'Can't User Port xxxx. Another Web Server May Be Running' mean. A: Something else on your computer is hooked up to port 80. This is most likely another web server, like MS-Front Page. To solve this problem either move your other server to another port or move MyWebServer to another port. Q: Can I configure both servers to be on tcp/ip port 80 ? A: Every server on a computer has a unique port number. The second server must be on a different port number than the main server. The standard port number for web servers is 80. However, MyWebServer enables the user to select any port number. Q: How do I address the second server on a port other thn 80 ? A: When using a port number other than 80, a user must specify the port number as part of the URL. The URL for the second server is the same as for the main server with a colon and a port number added to the end of it. Suppose one of the servers is configured to run on port 97, the URL that accesses this server is in the format URL: 97 (Example - http://yourwebserver.com:97). Q: Where Do I put CGI Programs and Scripts ? A: CGI programs (or scripts) are run by web pages. They are always located in the cgi-bin directory. There are many pre-written CGI programs readily available on download sites. Look on our resources page for download sites. Q: How do I decode an uploaded file its in a .mim format ? A: Web Browsers send files in a mime wrapper. For your protection file uploads are kept in this format. There is no way to execute a program that is enclosed within this mime wrapper. This protects you from viruses and hackers. You must use a mime extraction program like The My Web Server File Extractor to decode these files. You can find the MyWebServer File Extractor in the downloads section of this web site Click Here for more information. Please direct comments, questions, or contributions, via e-mail, to . |
