    Objectives
    In this lesson, you will learn:
    To understand a Web servers functionality. To introduce Apache Web server. To learn how to request documents from a Web server.

    21.1 Introduction
    Web server
    Responds to client requests by providing resources

    URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) Web server and client communicate with platform-independent Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

    21.1 Introduction

    Example of an HTTP Request from a Web browser


    Command URL HTTP version

    GET http://www.kelley.indiana.edu/ardennis/home.htm HTTP/1.1 ]- Request Line Date: Mon 06 Aug 2001 17:35:46 GMT User-Agent: Mozilla/6.0 ]- Web browser (this is Netscape) Request Header Referer: http://www.indiana.edu/~aisdept/faculty.htm
    URL that contained the link to the requested URL

    (Fitzgerald and Dennis, 2005 Figure 2-9)

    HTTP response from a Web server


    HTTP version Status code Reason

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK ]- Response Status Date: Mon 06 Aug 2001 17:35:46 GMT ]- Date Server: NCSA/1.3 ]- Web server Location: http:// www.kelley.indiana.edu/adennis/home.htm ]- URL Content-type: text/html ]- Type of file <html> <head> <title>Allen R.

    21.2 HTTP Request Types


    GET (default) and POST do basically the same thing: Send data from the client to the server. However, they have some differences: GET
    Appends form data directly to the end of the URLvisible to users (not suitable for sending passwords) Limited to 2,048 characters for the entire URL Result page can be bookmarked and cached

    POST
    Sends form data in the HTTP requestinvisible to users Virtually no limit (but check your specific configuration) Results are not cacheable or bookmarkable

    11

    21.3 System Architecture


    Multi-tier application (n-tier application)
    Information tier (data or bottom tier)
    Maintains data for the application Stores data in a relational database management system (RDBMS)

    Middle tier
    Implements business logic and presentation logic Control interactions between application clients and application data

    Client tier (top tier)


    Applications user interface Users interact directly with the application through the client tier

    21.4 Client-Side Scripting versus Server-Side Scripting


    Client-side scripts
    Validate user input
    Reduce requests needed to be passed to server Access browser Enhance Web pages with DHTML, ActiveX controls, and applets

    Server-side scripts
    Executed on server Generate custom response for clients Wide range of programmatic capabilities Access to server-side software that extends server functionality

    14

    Installing a web server

    15

    Hosting a website: Self hosting


    Install a web server on a computer Local access
    Using domain <localhost> or IP address 127.0.0.1 Necessary for server-side programming development

    Global access
    Register a human-readable domain name Obtain IP address
    Static: Costs more Dynamic: Needs dynamic DNS system, e.g. http://www.dyndns.com/
    16

    Hosting a website: Hosting service


    Register a domain name
    Assign name servers Host takes care of IP addressing

    Develop website locally Upload website via FTP for global access
    E.g. Filezilla

    17

    Web server architecture


    LAMP: Most popularfully open source
    Linux for operating system Apache for web server MySQL for database PHP for server-side scripting

    Others:
    WAMP: Uses Windows for operating system, with Apache, MySQL, and PHP WISA: Full Microsoft package
    Windows Internet Information Server (IIS) SQL Server (enterprise) or Access (small-scale) ASP or ASP.NET

    18

    21.7 Apache Web Server


    Currently the most popular Web server Stability Efficiency Portability Open-source

    19

    All-in-one Apache/MySQL/PHP packages


    EasyPHP (recommended)
    Includes PHPMyAdmin for administering MySQL database Installation and configuration

    AbriaSoft Merlin Desktop Edition


    Includes PHPMyAdmin

    WAMP Server PHP Triad


    20

    Installing EasyPHP
    Download EasyPHP, and follow the installation instructions In addition, move the <mysql> and <phpmyadmin> folders into the <www> folder in the EasyPHP installation folder For Windows 95, make the following adjustments before starting EasyPHP:
    Download the Windows NT patch, rename it to EasyPHP.exe, and replace the existing EasyPHP.exe Open DOS prompt, go to the EasyPHP installation folder, and run <easyphp /install>

    Run EasyPHP in Windows, and it will start Apache and MySQL (PHP and PHPMyAdmin do not need to start)
    Note that Windows 95 might show that Apache is not working, though actually it is working
    21

    Requesting XHTML or PHP documents


    Request PHP documents from Apache Save PHP documents in the www folder for EasyPHP (htdocs is the default Apache folder name) Launch web browser
    With EasyPHP, right-click on the status bar icon and click Local Web

    Enter PHP documents location in Address field, starting with http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/
    22
