Re: [css-d] Lightweight HTTP server for beginner's http://localhost/ ?
There was another one I've used - a command line only one, and the only way you could stop it was to use Task Manager to kill it. I think it was TinyWeb - yes, here it is: http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/tinyweb/ Very lightweight (53KB!!!), supports CGI, configured only via command line parameters. That's a nice list, but that and Apache2Triad are the only two I've actually worked with. A2T is much easier to configure, includes PHP and MySQL setup, etc. Jerod Venema wrote: I'd also recommend checking out some from this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_web_servers I've used shttpd before (although they're on a different version now) and had good luck with it. -Jerod 2008/9/5 David Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of christopher Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 3:28 PM To: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [css-d] Lightweight HTTP server for beginner's http://localhost/ ?

[css-d] Lightweight HTTP server for beginner's http://localhost/ ?
CSS Discussers: I am building my first website and struggling with a very spotty and uneven knowledge of servers, HTML, and CSS. I do have some computer and internet knowledge but with big gaps where I most need expertise. Aptana is currently my development environment which lets you preview a file in either Firefox or IE. It supposedly launches its own preview server but, from the behaviour of Firefox described below, it rather looks as though Firefox is using file:///path-to-site-folder/index.html. Firefox won't load a CSS file referenced by a link ... / if it contains a path from site root, e.g. href=/css_stuff/my_neat.css (note leading root slash / ) but IE will. Firefox is only happy with href=css_stuff/my_neat.css (not the missing root / slash). I hope not to be lost in relative file referencing hell, i.e. href=../../../../css_stuff/my_neat.css, but need to check this in a tame local server environment. Can anybody recommend a suitable lightweight HTTP server that even a complete newbie from Mars could set up with the local site root specified, etc.? Then I can get Firefox to look at http://localhost/index.html, which latter contains link href=/css_stuff/my_neat.css (note root slash / restored again). I have Googled for a server but frankly as soon as I try to read the bumf I am lost ... Along with your many recommendations, I wonder if I can impose on you to ask how to install and configure site root?
