Additional preparations

Added the following arguments to the Run Settings:


--docroot . --http-address 0.0.0.0 --http-port 8080

Deploying the Wt application locally

When running the program (from Qt Creator) you will see the following application output, indicating that the program works fine:


[2010-Nov-19 16:41:38.365920] 6360 - [notice] "Wt: initializing built-in httpd"

[2010-Nov-19 16:41:38.366043] 6360 - [notice] "Reading Wt config file: /etc/wt/wt_config.xml (location = '/home/richel/qtsdk-2010.04/bin/Projects/Website/CppWtExample2-build-desktop/CppWtExample2')"

[2010-Nov-19 16:41:38.366592] 6360 - [notice] "Started server: http://0.0.0.0:8080"

Now, start your web browser and go to the following address:


http://127.0.0.1:8080/

You will see the 'Hello Wt' dynamic website. You just deployed your Wt application locally. This is just fine for debugging. If the application is ready to be put on the web, deploy the Wt application globally.
