HTML & templates / Re: Hosting a website?

« on: September 29, 2009, 11:01:17 PM »

for some reasons, you don't see any change.
I guess you already tried to click on the "refresh" button of your browser.
anyway, that's nothing to do with with HFS itself.
i guess you still see the website while HFS is not running. isn't it?

I don't see the website if HFS is not running. But when i uninstall and reinstall HFS and access the site.. i still see the website, even though i uninstalled before and deleted my website  root folders and "unbind root folder"

HTML & templates / Hosting a website?

« on: September 29, 2009, 10:33:34 PM »

Hello again, I am using hfs.2f and i am having some problem hosting a website. I created a root folder call "Example". In side that root folder, i placed my HTML "Default" file and rest of my other files to run the site. So by using HSF.2F i did the following to host the site:

1) Right Clicked on that small house looking icon in expert mode and pressed "bind to real-folder"
2) I've located my "example" folder and pressed Okay.
3)Then right Click on the small house again under expert mode and went to "advanced" then to "default file mask..." then I typed in "default.html" cause i wanted that page to open first.
4)--------this works fine------ now here are my probems::::::


But when I edit my website... and add new stuff to it.. why doesn't it show up when i access the site?---------

Also, this is really weird... When I "Unbind root" and  delete my "Example" folder, which contains my website files, when i access the site, its still there while HFS is running. But how can the page be still there when i deleted the files and unbinded the root?----------

ALso, can someone tell me how do i COMPLETLY remove everything of HFS and start all over... I pressed "Uninstall HFS" and said it will delete setting as well.. but when i install it again, i see the website LOL.---------



If anyone has any links to setting up a web server, please paste it here. I am senior at a high school and taking web development. This software is very useful as i learn html and host my newbie sites. Its a good way to view my site and improve it.

Those of you who help, thank you for your time and i really appreciate it .

HTML & templates / Using Templates

« on: September 27, 2009, 03:55:09 PM »

Okay, i just found out about this software few days ago and having problems setting up new templates. I don't know any HTML or any macro codes. I downloaded some templates, but how do i use them? I can access "edit templates" do i just copy and paste some sort of html code into that box? lol. Or can anyone give me a link to newbie tutorials? I would really appreciate it.

I've been looking for a decent home servers for LONG time. Tried "easy home file shareing" which sucked like anything and keeps hanging for no reason. But I've tested HFS 2.2f and it never hangs. Its always active and lets me access it anytime i want as long as its running. So, i don't want to find another one, i want to get used this one. Overall, this one is the best and I wonder why its free... (i am not saying that so people would help me, I say "its the best" cause it is.) At least better then all the onces i used.
