Publish a Web Notebook Locally
It's also easy to publish your site on a personal Web server to share on your home LAN or small
office network. It just takes a moment, as all required personal Web sharing software (Apache
server) is already installed on your OS X system.
1
Open the notebook you want to convert and choose File > Web Notebook > Create. In
the panel that opens, name your site, then save it in your own home folder, in the
Sites/NoteTaker folder (if NoteTaker doesn't create this folder for you, create it
yourself).
2
Open Apple's System Preferences, select Sharing preferences (under Internet &
Network) and make sure Personal Web Sharing is On. At the bottom of this same
panel, note and write down your machine's Network IP address. For machines on a
home or small network, this number is typically in the range of 10.0.1.X or some form
of this subnet range.
3
Open your Web browser and enter the following address in its URL field.
http://localhost/~
username
/NoteTaker/
where
username
is the Short Name format listed in your Apple Accounts preferences.
Type the address exactly, including the ~ in front of the username, and all /
characters.
4
If you entered the correct address above, you should see an index of Web sites in your
Sites/NoteTaker/ folder. Locate the site you just created and click it to open it in your
browser.
5
To have other people on your local network access the site, give them this URL to add
to their favorites:
http://
yourIPaddress
/~
username
/NoteTaker/
YourSiteName
/
where
yourIPaddress
is the IP address you noted in step 2.
