Instructions for Confirming Your Setup

Confirm the WebHub Runner

To confirm you have your scripts mapping right and the runner in the right place, try this URL from a browser on your local machine:

http://localhost/path/runner.ext?echo

For example:

http://localhost/cgi-win/runwin.exe?echo    // Win95 cgi-win
http://localhost/cgi-bin/runbin.exe?echo    // NT cgi-bin
http://localhost/scripts/runisa.dll?echo    // NT ISAPI

Run the Hub

If that works, proceed to run the Hub. The file is c:\ht\htexe\hub.exe and you will find a shortcut under Programs|WebHubFiles on your Windows startup menu. The Hub's icon lives in the tray. Usually you won't need to do much with the Hub, but you can get to its interface by double-clicking the tray icon.

Test the Application served by the Hub

Try this URL from a browser on your local machine:

http://localhost/path/runner.ext?hubapp:systeminfo

Replace path with the directory your web server uses for "cgi scripts". That's in quotes because the runner is a cgi script only in the most general sense of that term. But that's another story.

Replace runner.ext with the name of your runner.

For example:

http://localhost/scripts/runisa.dll?hubapp:systeminfo 

or

http://localhost/cgi-win/runwin.exe?hubapp:systeminfo

In these examples, hubapp is the AppID and systeminfo is the PageID.
