How Server-Side Applications Are Installed on the Server

Each type of program is installed onto the server differently. The following list summarizes the procedures:

• For Java servlets, you can create and deploy web applications. For more information, see What the Server Needs to Run Servlets.

• For CGI programs, you can configure your server to recognize all files with certain filename extensions, or all files in specified directories as CGI programs, or both. For more information, see Installing CGI Programs, Installing Windows CGI Programs, and Installing Shell CGI Programs for Windows.

These installation procedures are described in the following sections.
