I could be missing something, but it doesn't appear that the webserver is installing.
I just bought PH this morning and downloaded ph103412setup.exe from the download page. While the installation creates the c:\program files\powerhome\web directory, the contents are only .gif and .css files, plus a 'graphics' folder with more subfolders and graphics. But nothing else, and when I try to load the server at localhost I get 'server not found'. (And I have enabled the web server, set a port and added a userid.)
Did I miss something somewhere? Is there an additional download I need?
Thanks!

Welcome aboard!
All of the built-in web pages are generated on-the-fly, so you won't see any source files.
Did you restart/reinit PH after setting up and enabling the web server?

Genius!
Well, I had, but only inadvertently, and while fiddling with ports, usernames, etc., somehow must have managed never to try the right port after doing a reinit.
So far I haven't grasped when, exactly, a reinit is required versus an F5/save, so I think I was trying to save, then checking (and failing) then changing ports then reiniting but then trying the wrong port.
So, thanks, and it's working, (and how do I know when to reinit? :) you don't actually have to answer that. Chances are good that after spending more than just 2 hours playing with it I'll start to get a feel.)

I reinit when I make changes to Setup. If I want to run a macro from the Macro/Formula drop down I also reinit after building a macro. If you made a change and it appears it hasn’t taken when in doubt reinit. Tony and others may have a better guideline..

More thanks.
And since I have people's ears/eyes, allow another silly questions: as I'm testing things and trying to figure out why they don't work so that I can then make them work, I've found the event log. However, I'm only seeing basic information and not "results" that should be there.
For example, in the forums when people are troubleshooting getting e-mail to work, I have seen mention of returns such as "-1," etc. I can see my "Macro GET MAIL executed" in the log, but I can't find any additional info that will help me troubleshoot why it isn't working.
Is there additional information recorded somewhere that I'm not seeing?

Yup.. Had that problem too. What I do is place Comments in the appropriate places in my macro to trace the flow which are then written to the Event Log. “Comments” in the macro are in the same column as Create Timed Events and Formulas.

Interesting. I'm going to try that, but I don't think it's what I mean. In the ph_processemailthread documentation, it describes what the various "returns" mean. Eg., "Returns a 1 if an error occurs while logging into the mail system."
Where do I see the return value once I've executed the command. The log just shows that the macro was run. Where are the "returns?"

The returns come back as a result from the formula.
If you want to see them, you need to do something like this...
User Message "Process Mail result: " + ph_processmailthread(...)
Regarding reinit, do it whenever you change something in Setup.
