Host Publisher Hints and Tips

Testing Host Publisher's Web Server

The Host Publisher's Web server requires no additional configuration to connect to Host Publisher, so it is a good way to test the other components.

Follow these steps to start and test the Host Publisher Web server:

  1. Stop any other Web server that is running on the machine.
  2. Start the Host Publisher Web server (from the HostPublisher section of the Windows Start menu).
  3. Change the DocumentRoot in the Web server window to C:\HostPublisher\Books\HTML (change C:\HostPublisher to the directory where you installed Host Publisher).

  4. Start a Web browser on the same machine.
  5. Open the Web page http://127.0.0.1/index.htm
  6. You should see some Host Publisher documentation.

If your browser reports that it cannot connect to localhost, make sure that the Web server is started, and try changing localhost to the specific hostname of the machine or its IP address.

If you see an error that the Web page was not found, verify that DocumentRoot is set in the Web server to the Books\HTML directory under the Host Publisher installation directory.
