Configuration question

Greetings,

I’m relatively new at Swazoo, so please pardon the neophyte question.

I’m running the HTTPServerTest routines.  From a workspace I doIt:

        (Delay forMilliseconds: 100) wait.

        ObjectMemory compactingGC.

        server := HTTPServer new.

        server ip: 'localhost'; port: 8123.

        server start.

        stream := (SocketAccessor newTCPclientToHost: 'localhost' port: 8123)

                                readAppendStream

I can inspect the values of server and stream and both look ok.

If I then inspect:

server isServing

I get ‘true’ value returned, which would suggest that the HTTPServer is running.  In the directory where I launched VW, I have a file index.html, which I expect to be read by my web browser.  If I try to navigate my browser to http://localhost:8123, however, I get an HTTP 404 Error.  Perhaps I’m laboring under a misconception, but I thought the ‘root’ of the http server would be where I launched VW.  Is this correct?  If not, how do I determine/set the folder where html files are found?

Thanks,

Hi Matthew,

Welcome to Swazoo world :)

It seems that you forgot to add any resource, specially a FileResource
to serve static HTML files.

You can add them manually or (for start) simply read them from
configuration file sites.cnf:

SiteRegistry configureFrom: 'sites.cnf'

Have a nice time

what I'm doing ;-)  I see the sites.cnf file, but don't really get what
many of the settings do, aside from SiteIdentifier.  I don't want to
bother you guys with tons of simple questions, is there some sort of
primer/tutorial about how to use this?  I'm a quick study...

Mattehew, sorry, not tutorial yet. But if you have a bit time, you are
welcome to put down a word or two, specially because you are new and not
"burried" into details yet. You are certanly in better position to write
a simple tutorial as we as developers are. Others will understand your
tutorial much better ;)

One thing you could immediately help me with is the contents of
sites.cnf.  The <SiteIdentifier> and <FileResource> tags are fairly self
evident, but I'm at a loss to understand what the <CompositeResource>
and <HelloWorldResource> settings are:

<Site>
 <SiteIdentifier ip: '127.0.0.1' port: 8123 host: 'localhost' >
 <CompositeResource uriPattern: '/'>
  <CompositeResource uriPattern: 'foo'>
   <HelloWorldResource uriPattern: 'Howdy'>
  </CompositeResource>
 </CompositeResource>
 <FileResource uriPattern: '/' filePath: '.'>
</Site>

Gah.  The config file I was asking about didn't show up properly on the
sourceforge.net forum, I guess the site tried to interpret it as HTML,
so I'm resubmitting.
