- A web server is the software used to host web sites. Many webservers can interact with database servers to create dynamic, interactive websites.
- A web server is a computer program that delivers (serves) content, such as web pages, using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, over the World Wide Web. The term web server can also refer to the computer or virtual machine running the program. In large commercial deployments, a server computer running a web server can be rack-mounted with other servers to operate a web farm. The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages to clients. This means delivery of HTML documents and any additional content that may be included by a document, such as images, style sheets and JavaScripts.
- Here is what I am working with at home: 1 Linksys Wireless Router 1 Desktop PC 1 Audrey network connection is Cable Modem. I have one primary site running at home, ww.reject,net, I use a service called "No-IP" to handle my DNS. NO-IP is a service/application that runs on my desktop and looks for IP address changes, when my ip changes, it updates the no-ip DNS server with my new ip address. This costs me 24.99 per year and gives me full control over DNS records, MX records, etc. Why is this important?

* If your ISP is blocking port 80, you can still host sites at home
* able to create 3rd level domain names, web redirects and mx records on the fly. Enough of that. So, as I stated earlier www.reject.net is running at home on port 80. The Linksys router is using port forwarding and sending att requests to my web server. First I created a 3rd level domain (audrey.reject.net) through the no-ip control panel. Also created a mx record for it so I can have a different email address for the Audrey. Anywho, I then changed the audrey.reject.net name to a web redirect. This taked the request for and forwards it to a specific URL, which in this case will be . The important part here is the :8080, we'll get to that in a second. Before I made any changes on the Audrey, I had to configure the Linksys reouter to forward att port 8080 requests to the Audrey (which has been configured with a static ip address of 192.168.1.103) so now, automatically forwards to . The router grabs the request and forwards it to the ipaddress using port 8080. Cool. Now to setup Audrey to listen on that port. I found an article from 1999 on Google on how to modify the Slinger configs (slinger is the QNX web server compnenet) I modified the rm-apps file to read rb,/kojak/kojak-slinger,-p 8080 -c -e -s, which forces slinger to listen on port 8080 and not 80. Done. Cool. So the only thing left was to map a drive to my windows pc, and copy over a web page or two and some images. i put the files in the /data/xml directory and whamo! Audrey is serving pages on the world wide web. Woohoo! I would love to hear from anyone who has done similar/cooler things or would like to work on a project using this technique. email me @ adam@reject.net. Oh, and for the email part, I setup a email(pop3) server on the web server and pointed the mx record to my ip address, then port forwarding is taken care of by the router.

The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages to clients. This means delivery of HTML documents and any additional content that may be included by a document, such as images, style sheets and JavaScripts. A client, commonly a web browser or web crawler, initiates communication by making a request for a specific resource using HTTP and the server responds with the content of that resource, or an error message if unable to do so. The resource is typically a real file on the server's secondary memory, but this is not necessarily the case and depends on how the web server is implemented. While the primary function is to serve content, a full implementation of HTTP also includes a way of receiving content from clients. This feature is used for submitting web forms, including file uploads.
