Hi,
I have a little problem and I was hoping that someone could help
me.
I have installed on my PC, the server web apache. Eveything works
fine and I have started to create some pages.
In the main directory of apache, I have my main page.
In the c:/siteweb, I have an html page to display some pictures.
By themselves, those 2 pages are displayed correctly. It is when
I want to link them together I have some problems.
On the main page (index.html), I have placed a gif file that
when clicked should load the the page inside the siteweb.
The first version of the index.html was a link to the photos.html
hfref="file:///c:/siteweb/photos.html"
but when I click the gif file, I can see the url displayed on the
status bar of mozilla, but when I click, nothing happens.
I changed to href="c:/siteweb/photos.html", then I am getting
an error saying the c is not a registered protocol.
Then href="/siteweb/photos.html", but then mozilla displays
an error saying that url siteweb/photos.html is not on the server.
I precise that everything is local, to access my home page,
I type in mozilla http://10.0.0.1
where 10.0.0.1 is my local IP adress given by my router.
Thanks in advance.

Why? Apart from the misspelled attribute name, there's the problem that
you are referring to a file with a file: URL which is by definition
strongly machine-dependent. When moving pages onto the Web, or even
inside your own disk, such URLs need to be fixed. Use relative URLs like
href="photos.html" instead.

Not surprisingly.

Well, is it there? The URL used is relative to a server root, with the
server defined by the base URL, which had better be defined.

Well, then it's not authoring for the WWW, is it?

This is what I liked to do. So now, I have to find where to reference
the c:/siteweb path so that photos.html can be appended after this
path (if I understand correctly).

Yes, I am sure it is there.

I want to test it locally, before going to dyndns and "register"
a domain name. Is that not a good idea to test it locally ?
because from inside my nework, when I registered simon.myphotos.cc
I could not access my web site.
Thanks and regards
Jean-Yves.

It is a good idea. And the best way to do it is to set up a web server
on your machine. Apache is free and available for Unix and Windows, at
least. Be sure to take some security measures to prevent outside access.

Not really HTML related, but you could add:
127.0.0.1 simon.myphoyos.cc
... to C:WINNTsystem32driversetchosts (this path is for Win2k and
probably for WinXP, don't know for other Windows versions) so that it
does resolve to your PC.
