Web server basics 235

You can also open any web page stored in any subfolder of the root folder

by specifying the subfolder in the URL. For example, suppose the

soleil.html file is stored in a subfolder called gamelan, as follows:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gamelan\soleil.html

You can open this page by entering the following URL in a browser

running on your computer:

http://mer_noire/gamelan/soleil.html

When the web server is running on your computer, you can replace the

server name with localhost. For example, the following URLs open the

same page in a browser:

http://mer_noire/gamelan/soleil.html

http://localhost/gamelan/soleil.html

NOTE

Another expression you can use instead of the server name or localhost is

127.0.0.1 (for example, http://127.0.0.1/gamelan/soleil.html).
