Apple appleshare ip 5.0.2 Information Guide

AppleShare 5.0.2 has two improvements not mentioned elsewhere in the
documentation:

m

It is fully compatible with Mac OS 8.

m

It supports WebStar-compatible plug-ins.

Note:  Several sections in this document instruct you to restart the Web server
so that settings changes can take effect. To save time, read this entire
document and make all changes before you restart the server.

Plug-ins add speed and functionality to your Web server. They act like CGI
(Common Gateway Interface) scripts but are faster and more efficient. You
can use plug-ins to

m

record the number of visitors to your Web pages

m

process forms

m

access databases such as customer lists or product catalogs

m

conduct on-screen chats

m

check passwords

m

let users search for information on your Web site

You can purchase plug-ins from software vendors or download them from the
Internet.
