I got the web server to serve up my test page, but from the reading of the documentation, there should be a web site already in the PowerHome/web folder. I only have ph.gif. Where's the content for the website?

PowerHome's website is all contained within internal CGI. When a blank request is made to the PowerHome server such as http://192.168.0.1:8000, PowerHome will search the web directory for an index.htm or index.html. If one is found, then this page is served up. If one isnt found, the internal one is generated and served back. You can serve both your own static html pages through PowerHome or the internal ones. If you have an index.htm or .html, you will need to delete them or create a link to the internal pages from within them. You can link to the main page from within the index.htm using the following reference: http://192.168.0.10:8000/ph-cgi/main? This of course is assuming your IP is 192.168.0.10 and the PowerHome webserver is on port 8000. This is the same page that is served if an index.htm or index.html file is not found.

OK. Now it works. (Very Cool!)
One more question though. This site will be accessible via the Internet, so what type of web server is this and how can I get patches if security issues are discovered?

The webserver is coded internally within PowerHome and so is unique to it. Security issues which exist within generic servers such as IIS and netscape should not be a problem with PowerHome. PowerHome's webserver will not execute external CGI or shell commands so should be reasonable secure.
