Getting Results with Novell Web Services
When users first access your server, they usually use a URL such as http://
www.novell.com/. When the server receives a request for this document, it
returns a document called a home page. Usually this file has general
information about your company and links to other documents.
By default the server finds the index file specified in the Index Filenames field
and uses that for the home page. However, you can also specify a file to use as
the home page by selecting the Home Page icon (by the Location field) and
entering the filename for the home page in the field.
By default, the Enterprise Web Server includes a temporary Web site. The
purpose of the site is to verify when your Web server is running. But it also
includes information about, and links to, all of the Web-based NetWare 6
management tools.
You can replace the default INDEX.HTM and with your own home page and
remove all of the supporting pages as well. You might want to explore the site
before replacing it with your own content.
To view the temporary Web site, point your Web browser at your Web server
by entering your NetWare server's domain name or IP address. For example:
http://www.digitalairlines.com
or
http://120.140.160.180
When a document is sent to a client, the server includes a section that
identifies the document's type, so the client can present the document in the
correct way. However, sometimes the server can't determine the proper type
for the document because the document's extension is not defined for the
server. In those cases, a default value is sent. For information about
maintaining your server's Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME)
types, see "Configuring MIME Types" on page 54.
