To determine if the newly created web application is functional, create a text file named default.srf in the physical directory that you specified above. Type the following:
<html> {{handler *}} <head> </head> <body> You requested page: http://{{Value(HTTP_HOST,HTMLENCODE)}}{{Value(HTTP_URL,URLDECODE,HTMLENCODE)}} </body> </html>
Then enter the following into your web browser:
http://localhost/vdir
(replacing vdir with the name of your web application).
You should see a page containing only this text:
You requested page: http://localhost/vdir/
Notice how the Value tags were replaced with the server variables. If the Value tags were properly substituted, BIS is operational in this directory.
