Web server and web-hosting

Web servers are software applications that deliver web content accessible over the Internet or intranets. They host websites, files, scripts, and programs and serve them using HTTP and other protocols. Common web servers include Apache, Microsoft IIS, and Sun Java. Tomcat is an open source web server and servlet container. It implements Java servlets and JSP specifications, providing a Java HTTP environment. Tomcat's main components are Catalina for servlet handling, Coyote for HTTP connections, and Jasper for JSP compilation. While Apache is generally better for static content, Tomcat can be used with Apache for Java/JSP applications.

The document defines key terms related to web publishing including web pages, websites, web servers, web browsers, blogs, and more. It provides information on setting up web publishing including needing web development software, an internet connection, and a web server. It also discusses choosing a domain name, uploading content using FTP software, and selecting a web hosting provider.

HTTP requests and responses follow a generic message format that includes a start line, message headers, an optional message body, and optional trailers. The start line indicates the request method and URI for requests or the HTTP version and status code for responses. Headers provide additional metadata about the message, sender, recipient, or content. The body carries request data or response content. Trailers are rarely used and provide additional headers after chunked content.

The document defines HTTP and HTTPS. HTTP is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol that provides communication between web browsers and servers. It is unsecured and transmits data in plain text. HTTPS is HTTP secured with SSL/TLS encryption to provide security. Key differences are that HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP's port 80, establishes an encrypted channel, and verifies servers with certificates to protect against attacks.

The document provides an overview of installing PHP on Windows systems. It discusses choosing between the Windows InstallShield method (for beginners) or manual binary installation. The InstallShield process is demonstrated step-by-step using IIS as an example, covering downloading, choosing options, file extensions, and testing. The manual method requires copying files, setting permissions, and configuring the web server by adding application mappings in IIS. Examples demonstrate including header and footer files to create templates.

This document discusses domain names, top-level domains, and hosting. It defines what a domain name is and lists some top-level domains such as .com, .edu, and country code top-levels like .my and .au. It also discusses generic top-level domains introduced by ICANN and factors to consider when choosing a domain name. Finally, it lists some domain tools including Whois, domain name generators, and reverse IP lookup.

A web server is a computer program and server that allows for hosting of websites and web applications. It accepts requests from browsers and returns HTML documents and other content. Common technologies used on web servers include CGI scripts, SSL security, and ASP to provide dynamic content and server-side processing. Web servers work by accepting connections from browsers, retrieving content from disk, running local programs, and transmitting data back to clients as quickly as possible while supporting threads and processes.

A web server is software that responds to requests from web browsers to serve web pages. It is part of a multi-tier architecture with an information tier (database), middle tier (application logic), and client tier (user interface). The most common protocol for communication between clients and servers is HTTP, with the server responding to GET and POST requests with web pages or other responses. Popular web server software includes Apache, IIS, and Tomcat.

HTML is a markup language used to design webpages by providing elements like text, images, tables, forms etc. represented by tags. DHTML is not a language itself but a term used to describe making webpages dynamic and interactive by combining HTML, CSS, JavaScript and server-side scripting. Static webpages are delivered exactly as stored while dynamic webpages are generated by a web application and allow content to change based on user interaction through technologies like DHTML.
