Adding Content to Your Web Site
NetWare Enterprise Web Server has a document root or primary document
directory. By default, the path to the primary document root directory is
SYS:\\NOVONYX\SUITESPOT\DOCS. This is where all of the content for
the sample Web site is stored.
All content placed in this folder is visible to your Web site audience. If
necessary, you can easily specify another directory as the primary document
root directory. (See "Setting the Primary Document Directory" on page 61.)
Once your Web server is running, you can start posting content for the world
(or your department or company) to see by placing files in the Web server's
primary or additional document directories.
For example, suppose you created a new HTML file called WELCOME.HTM
that included some information about your department that you wanted to
share with other departments in your company. You would then copy the file
to SYS:\\NOVONYX\SUITESPOT\DOCS, which is the Web server's default
primary document directory.
If your server's domain name were SALES.MYCOMPANY.COM, people in
your company would enter the following URL to view the new document.
HTTP://SALES.MYCOMPANY.COM/WELCOME.HTM
You could also then edit the document from the document root directory and
the moment you save your changes, users would see the changes when they
refresh their Web browser or when they view the page for the first time.
As mentioned above, a number of files are stored in the \DOCS root directory.
You should replace these files with your own files. The page you choose as
your home page should be named INDEX.HTML. By default, the Enterprise
Server recognizes this name and will serve it up automatically when a user
points at your server's domain name. However, you can specify an alternate
filename as the default index page. (See "Specifying a Default Home Page"
on page 66.)
You can also create additional document directories, which is a good idea if
departments want to publish their own content to the company Web site but
when you don't want to give users control of the primary document root. (See
"Setting Additional Document Directories" on page 62.)
You can follow the same procedures when creating a company Internet site,
intranet site, departmental site, or even a personal site. What differentiates
each of Web site is whether the Web site is placed on the Internet outside the
