Installation Completed

Once PWS is installed you will have two new addressing techniques to understand.

• First is that your personal web server will be at the TCP/IP address 127.0.0.1. Sites you develop can be accessed from your browser by providing the URL of 127.0.0.1/MySiteName/MyPageName.asp.

• The second location is of the physical file. Whereas on NT/IIS your files are in the folder named InetPub, in PWS they are in C:\WebShare\WWWRoot\MySiteName\MyPages.

The files for pages can be seen using Windows Explorer, as well as copied or renamed. Keep in mind that manipulations of page files can cause a site to become out of synchrony with some editors or site management software. It is safer to perform file management tasks for a site using the explorer features of your page editing software, such as VID or FrontPage.
