Newbie Question
-
Hi! I've given the source code for a web site. I've to host it to localhost(in XAMPP) and test the site. I've installed XAMPP and copied whole source code to htdocs folder of XAMPP installation. Now I've to run the website from localhost. For this I need to know which file I've to call from the browser. Where will it be embedded? Sorry if this is a silly question. I don't know anything about web programming.

Look for any file marked Index or Default. That will be the start page that the browser looks for.

Sorry Dave, but I can't just let that one slide.... I think you're getting a little confused by the default document (which is indeed usually called index or default, or even login!) - this is set in IIS / Web server to determine which file to send to the client when none is specified, so if your start page is http://blah.de.nobbs/default.aspx then entering http://blah.de.nobbs is sufficient - IIS then looks at what the default doc is and serves that back to the client. Has nothing at all to do with the browser above and beyond making a request and recieving a response.
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.
