Setting up the server

After defining the HTML page that displays your plug-in application, you need to set up the Web server.

Specifying the MIME type

Using the appropriate software for your Web server, register the MIME type for the PowerBuilder window plug-in. Table 33-7 shows the MIME types you can use.

**Table 33-7: PowerBuilder window plug-in MIME types**
For this plug-in	Register this MIME type
Standard PowerBuilder window plug-in	application/vnd.powerbuilder10.5
Secure PowerBuilder window plug-in	application/vnd.powerbuilder10.5-s

The file extension associated with the MIME type is PBD.

Your server documentation might use the term content type instead of MIME type.

Putting the files on the server

You need to copy PowerBuilder libraries and the HTML file to appropriate directories on your server.

**Table 33-8: PBD and HTML file locations on server**
Files	Location	What you do
HTML page	The HTML documents directory	Copy the HTML page to the directory specified in any URLs that link to the page
PBD files named in the SRC and LIBRARY attributes of the Embed element	The HTML documents directory or some other directory as appropriate	Copy the PBD files to the directories you specified in the Embed element attributes

About URLs The URLs you specify in your HTML page are logical paths as defined by the Web server. On Windows, for example, the system path for your PBD might be:

C:\WEBSITE\HTDOCS\PB\PLUGIN_APP.PBD

If htdocs is defined as the server’s documents directory, you can use the following relative path when specifying the SRC attribute of the Embed element. This path is relative to the documents directory:

pb/plugin_app.pbd

For the LIBRARY attribute, do not specify a relative URL for the PBD. You must specify a full URL. For example:

http://www.mycompany.com/pb/plugin_app.pbd
