The World Wide Web gives access to an enormous range of information resources world-wide, and a major reason for the current explosive growth of the Web is the ease with which providers of information who are not computer specialists can set up World Wide Web servers on departmental or personal computers linked to the Internet. The issue of security of data on the server and on the local network will be discussed as well as the techniques available for the linking of the server to other applications to provide dynamic information. Demonstrations and practical work will be given on a working server. Booking form for this course. The World Wide Web provides a mechanism for people to share information with the rest of the Internet.
Information is provided by server software.
The majority of the operating system work will similarly be common to all flavours of Unix. Sorry, this course is not currently scheduled. Configuring Apache and at least one other server will be covered in detail but, because of other security concerns, this will NOT include Microsoft Internet Information Server.
