Testing the New Directory

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.
