Special Edition Using Macromedia Studio MX 2004

     

How can I tell whether I have a local Web server or not?

If you're on Windows, you may already be running Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) or Personal Web Server (PWS), a scaled-down version of IIS. One clue that you are running one of these is if your system drive contains an Inetpub folder; that's the PWS and IIS default folder.

Similarly, Macintosh OS X 10.2.6 and newer includes the popular shareware Apache HTTP Server. Try typing http://localhost . If you get a browser error ”such as Page cannot be displayed ”go into System Preferences, click Sharing, and enable Web sharing to activate Apache.
