  Enable Second Server
This turns on the second server.

Turning on the second server allows you to have a second web site on your computer. This is useful if you want your web site to be 'hidden', or if you already have a web server running and want a second one. If you change this to another value(like 9600), you must access your site using this form: 'http://yoursite:9600/

Dual Servers allow you to activate a second server on your computer. This dual server feature allows the user to enable the password protection on each server independently. Thus, your main server could be made available to anyone, while the second server could be password protected. With the Dual Server feature enabled, each server has its own URL, root directory and directory structure

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.

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).
