I need to start developing and converting existing database to work on the web. I’ve been reading a lot and playing around a little. But have some questions?
I know that an existing database may not work properly, but you should probably be able to open it and see what does and doesn’t work. But how do I get started? Do we have to enable HTML on the Domino server? Do we need to install a web server? Or is Domino already the web server and it just needs some settings modified?
And what about my development pc? Do I need a personal web server on it? I can preview a database in a web brower, but I can’t create a document or anything? But I can modify the address to open an existing database on my local, but I can’t really do anything but view pages. What am I missing? And sometimes Notes wants me to log in, but I don’t know what id\password it wants. I’ve tried my Notes log in and my network log in, but neither seems to be what it’s looking for. Is this because I need a personal web server? Or because I’m using preview mode?
And how do you enter addresses to navigate to a Notes database using a browser? When I preview in a web browser, Notes usings //localhost/ etc.
Once I have that, I can change the info after localhost and open a database on my development pc. But if I type in a path manually, I get a page not found. What is Notes storing in localhost?
Sorry about all the questions, but I’d really like to learn. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
