- You webserver is on your PC and you manage it, because its yours :) http://www.lamphowto.com/lamp.htm WWW stands for World Wide Web.
- within the pc. World Wide Web
- A web server is any computer that accepts http requests and returns http responses. http is the protocol that you never see. It has things like GET / to retrieve a page and controls cookies and tells what kind of computer you have and stuff like that. You may have a web server on your pc, but it would have a name like "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 . www can be thought of as the name of the computer. It's a public name that is really a "virtual" server. www.yahoo.com and answers.yahoo.com and my.yahoo.com may all be on the same computer, or they may be different computers. www, answers, my, and so on are the way to identify the server you want to request information from. This WILL be on the test. Class dismissed. :)
- First of all www is the "default" webserver. There may be some name/label for a webserver too. If there is a machine named "mach1" on the network, the webserver at the domain (say domain.com) can be contacted by mach1.domain.com. If there is no naming convention, then the default webserver will be always reachable at www.domain.com. As for the definition of webserver, it is a daemon (program will runs in the background forever) which receiver requests from the client-side(our) browser and gives the response (usually get some details from the server database or process some data) back to the client. You may also run a webserver on ur machine locally. Free open source webservers are available for download. Some of them are Apache, Tomcat, etc. Hope this answer helps (please excuse me if i am wrong anywhere).
- in ur on PC
- it will be World Wibe Web it is located at th top
