This file describes how to set up a local testing environment.

If you need installation instructions, see install.txt under the Delphi30 or Delphi40 directories.

We recommend two additional freeware tools when testing CGI - applications locally:

1) CGI-expert for Delphi30/Delphi40/CPPB30
	This tool is a powerful CGI-engine that supports session variables, 	cookies, multiple threads etc. The best feature is its debugging 
	capabilities - debug live apps from within the IDE.
	It is available both as freeware and commercial software and is highly
	recommendable. Find it at www.cgiexpert.com

2) PI3 Internet server
	This freeware webserver is a no-nonense, small and efficient webserver
	for win95/NT. We never had any problems with it.	
	Find it at www.johnroy.com/pi3

with these two tools, developing and testing locally it very easy. 
Make sure that you set up the directory mappings correctly when using the image autogeneration features of PixelPack (  thats the TPxVCLWrapper,
TPxDBTable and TPxDBImage components ) 

If you for instance got your images placed on d:\webserver\images\ and refer
to your images by /images , make sure you also have a document mapping in PI3
that maps d:\webserver\images\ to /images/

Another important thing is the CGI mappings - the TPxCGI component follow the
CGI standard ( not WINCGI ) - remember this when making your mappings.
