Hello World

Now that you have created your database and you are in 4D's Design environment, you will first need to make a couple of changes to the general properties of the database. To display the Properties dialog, go to the Edit menu and choose Properties...

You will be presented with a dialog box that looks something like this.

The properties you will need to adjust are not on the first page of the dialog box. Select the Web section of the properties dialog this will take you to the Web Server Settings of Database Properties.

You will want to make sure that you choose Publish Database at Startup. The TCP port is, by default, set to 80 - the standard port for web servers. If your computer is already running a web server, you should either stop that web server or make sure that 4D's web server runs on a different port.

It is also important that you remove the index.html from the "Default Home Page" and leave this area blank. This will force 4D to execute the code we are about to write instead of simply serving the index.html when the web server is called.

All other default setting should remain unchanged.

Click the OK button to close the Properties dialog.
