This is the official documentary for the 1.0.1 release of ZwebServer.
If you are experiencing some problems with ZwebServer 1.0.1 or lower, then you should read this:
1. If you recieve an error that tells you it is not a valid Windows application, you don't have the .NET Framework installed. If you do not have this installed, you can download it directly from Microsoft here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F52. If you press "Stop" on the ZwebServer control panel and the program crashes, we are fully aware of this problem and are going to have this problem fixed in the next release.
3. If you see an error image on the ZwebServer control panel near the Directory or Port input box when you try to start the server, there is a user end error and is easy to fix. If you see the error pop up next to the Directory input box, then the directory you specified for the server is invalid and cannot be hosted. In other words, the directory you specified is not found or the permissions on that folder are incorrect. If you see the error pop up next to the Port input box, then the port you specified was not a valid port. The port number consists of only numbers ranging from 1 to 65535. The recommended port number to specify would be port 80 because that is what most web sites run on and is what your browser looks for in the host name you type in.
4. If a pop up comes up after you start the server asking you if you want Windows to block or allow the program, click on "Unblock" or "Allow" to continue using the program. This pop up in Windows makes sure your computer is secure from malware or other virus's. ZwebServer is not a virus and has been scanned with multiple virus scanners. If the pop up tells you the program is blocked and only a system adminstrator can unblock it, you wont be able to use the web server across your network or even host a web site on it. When you see this program, ask your computer/network administrator to unblock this application for you.
5. If you try to stop the web server if it is not running, you will run into an error and the program will crash. This also applies to other commands. If you try to tell the server to stop or start something while it is already doing this task, it will crash.
6. If your computer detects ZwebServer as a virus because it creates a configuration file in the same directory as the executable, ignore the warning from the anti-virus or "Allow" the program to operate on your system. The program creates a file called "config.zws" to save your settings from the last time you used the program so you don't have to reconfigure it.
7. If when you host a web site on ZwebServer and your pages do not look the same on this server than on another server, it is because the web server does not support MIME yet on certain files and will be fixed in the next release. Your pages do not look the same because you probably have a CSS file and the server is not loading it correctly and your browser reads it as a download instead of an embedded file that is linked to that web page. A workaround for this bug is to put your CSS code in the same page as your HTML file instead of linking to another CSS file somewhere else on the server.

Some other release notes:
File size was decreased majorly down to 132kb.
The memory overflow error was fixed (After a few hundred requests, the program flooded the computers memory).
The program was coded to take up less system memory and use more virtual memory for less used parts of the program.
Enjoy!
