PLT Web Server: Installation

Follow the following simple steps to start using the PLT Web server:

1. Install DrScheme

The Web server requires DrScheme or MzScheme version 200alpha1 or later.

2. Download the server

Choose one of the following installation options:

• Click here from within help-desk.
• Choose "Open URL..." from help-desk's "File" menu and enter http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ptg/packages/web-server.plt
• Download the file using another browser. Then select "Open" from the "File" menu in help-desk.
• Download the file using another browser and save it as web-server.plt. Then run

  setup-plt web-server.plt

  This option works with MzScheme as well as with DrScheme.

3. Start the server

Launch the web-server program created in the same location as the other PLT programs such as DrScheme.
The server may need to use a different port, such as 8080, on some systems. Choose a different port by starting the server with an optional port number:

web-server 8080

4. Try it out

Direct a Web browser to

http://localhost/

or to

http://localhost:8080/

depending on the server's port.

5. Configure

You may configure your server by following the links on the default index page.

We know you have a choice. Thank you for choosing PLT software.
