Configuring where ZnServer serves files from

I needed to serve some (amber) files from a local host - it was just a quick hack. I fired up the 2.0 one click image on my mac, and looked at the instructions for running the server. I can see how it would work if I installed it on Ubuntu, but I can't work out where my website's root folder would be on the mac. i tried the various folders inside the package, but none worked.

Which brings me to the basic question, how do I configure the path for a ZnServer - i am sure it is very simple, but I couldn't work it out.

Cheers

This should work:

(ZnServer defaultOn: 1701)
logToTranscript;
delegate: ((ZnStaticFileServerDelegate new)
prefixFromString: 'apple/macosx';
directory: '/Library/WebServer/Documents' asFileReference;
yourself);
start.

ZnClient new get: 'http://localhost:1701/apple/macosx/'.

If there is no index.html in the directory, you'll need to refer to an actual file.

HTH,

Sven

Thanks Sven, that's great! And, I am glad I asked, because I wouldn't have worked that out.

It seems to me that Zinc is becoming sufficiently powerful that it could do with a section in the collaboractive cookbook. Could someone on this list give me an account? I could start to capture bits and pieces.

have a look on git https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoForTheEnterprise-english

I started to convert all the zinc documentation that sven wrote.

We can add a new chapter on Zinc Usage.

We are working on a format that generates autoamtically PDF and html for the next books.
