Using the Web Server

Each page that Intermapper serves contains the same controls at the top. The example below shows an Intermapper map as it appears in a web page.

NOTE:

To access the web server remotely, (that is, from a different machine connected to the network) you must configure the Intermapper firewall to permit the connection. You must also configure any other firewalls protecting the machine that is running Intermapper to allow traffic to the specified port. For more information, see The Web Server in the Server Settings section.


A typical Intermapper web page. the "Example.com" Chicago map.

The Intermapper web page typically has three parts:

  • The header shows the map name or other title and a navigation bar for going to other pages. This is usually the same for every page.
  • The content of the page varies, depending on which page is selected.
  • The footer of the page shows the time the page was created.
