what is webserver root directory?
474276
The meaning of "root" directory changes depending on the webserver you use. For the most part the root directory would be the directory that you installed the web server to.\n\nAn example would be: In Windows, using the Apache web server, the root directory might be C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Apache&#92;\n\nSome web servers label the root directory as the directory where the files to be hosted are located. The location changes from server to server, but most will initially keep it under the install directory.\n\nAn example of this would be (using the same setup above): C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Apache&#92;htdocs\n\nThe directory that is used to serve files from will typically be 'htdocs', 'www', or 'http'.

This is the server port. it is only use in window server operating system. If you are behind a firewall, it may be preventing you from accessing the control panel which is located on the server's port 8443. The control panel is assigned to port 8443 for security purposes since many of the control panel functions must be executed as "root". If you wish to use your control from behind the firewall, you'll need to enable access to port 8443.\nMake sure your browser is enabled for SSL connections and that you are trying to access the control panel via https://, instead of http://.

that is tracked in the software that you are using for your webserver. IIS and Apache generate their own logs of all user actions. Any other web server you may be using should have logging built in. If you are looking for a program to analyze these logs check out the Webalizer. It isn't open source but it is free.\n\nhttp://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/

They're USUALLY Java Servlets, but read on ...\n\nYou can't really rely on those last few characters in a URL.  For example, I can have all of my pages end in ".do", but have the web server software treat them as ".php".  The obvious ones you mention are for pages where the developer doesn't care if the reader (you) know what kind of page it is.  \n\nA lot of web developers use "security by obscurity".  They'll make up file extensions that attempt to "hide" the real extension such as php, asp, etc. That deters would-be hackers since it's a little harder to exploit websites based on the technology they use for their pages.

the parent directory of a directory (your web site) is simply the directory one level up from the current\ne.g.\nif your web site is in\nc:&#92;WebSites&#92;MyWebSite\nthe parent directory of MyWebSite is WebSites.\nIf you want to change to parent directory from current and don't know the name, you can type\ncd ..\nthis changes to parent dir.\nor reference a file in a parent dir\n<img src="../WebSites/pic.jpg">\n\nif your web site is being hosted on a server other than your own, you probably won't have access to it.

You are using a relative path and so you need to go up from the "Main" folder and back down into the "Form" folder.  You need to proceed your path with ".." to perform this action.\n\nExample - <form action="../Form/process.php">\n\nThat's all!

Not necessary.\n\nBut for the ease of maintenance it is useful to keep them segregated into a folder and use a hierarchy to represent their depth.\n\nAlso, if a certain JSP needs to be protected for direct access from outside world, keep it under the WEB-INF folder.

There is an account called IUSR_[YOURSERVERNAME]. Ensure that has read access to any folders you set up on the webserver.

In the example above, "yoursever" is your website.  For example, if you own billybob123.com, you would replace "yourserver" with "billybob123.com" in the above example, so it would look like http://billybob123.com/catalog/inst..."  Don't try to click on that link, it won't go anywhere.  :-)\n\nI think the above example is assuming you do have your own domain.  I'm not sure what to do if you're using something like geocities or your ISP's personal webspace.  If the program name indicates what it does, you might not be able to.  If you adminster a domain, and need help, whoever gives you tech support should be able to help.  If you don't....  I don't know what to tell you, but I do wish you luck!

Apache http://www.apache.org\n\nBut I wouldn't recommend using either one of those environments for a server. Go for Linux or Unix-based server.

hi, .htaccess is not ONLY allowing restriction to directories. htaccess is used to OVERRIDE the webserver (apache) configuration on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.\n\nSo back to your question, htaccess is for your http://www.myexamplesite.com/  to put unique configuration to certain directories. \nTo protect ftp://www.myexamplesite.com/ you would need to disable Anonymous user or add a password for them.\n\nIf your on shared hosting, take a look at their control panel and they would have a place to add a password for anonymous or disable anonymous. If you care to use that for your self you can access the ftp by doing this:\nftp://[ USER ]:[ PASSWORD ]@[ DOMAIN ]:[ PORT ]\nwhere:\n[ USER ] = Username to the ftp\n[ PASS ] = Password for that username\n[ DOMAIN ] = The host or IP , in your case it is myexamplesite.com\n[ PORT ] = Whatever port you assigned, in your case it is by default which is 21. \n\nIf you have an option to change your PORT, please change it to a 4-5 digit number not exceeding the maximum 35K. That will increase security slightly.\n\n\nHope I helped
