Publishing files on the Web 11-23
Example The IP address of the machine that hosts your database file is
12.34.56.78. To see your data, the user launches Web browser software
and types this IP address.
If you have specified a port number other than 80, that port number must
be appended, using a colon, to your IP address:
12.34.56.78:591
For more information see “Specifying a port number” on page 11-11.
For more information on using a custom home page, see “Specifying a
home page for your database” on page 11-9.
Note If you connect to the Internet using a modem connection to an
Internet service provider, your IP address could be dynamically
allocated, meaning it is different each time you connect. This makes it
much more difficult to create links from a Web page to your database,
since your IP address is constantly changing.
Once Web browser software is pointed to the IP address of the machine
hosting your database files, the Web user sees your database home
page—a background screen and the list of the files you have currently
running on your host machine. Clicking a filename opens the file. If you
have specified a password for the file, the user is prompted for it.
