Guide - Using the EventGhost web server
To use the EventGhost web server the following softwares are needed:
Procedure
1. Start EventGhost.
2. Add plugin, choose "Webserver" which is found under "Other".
3. Choose which port to use. Usually port 80 is used. Choose which folder the html-file is to be located, for example "C:\Program\EventGhost\www".
4. Add plugin, choose "TellStick" which is found under "External Hardware Control".
5. Preferably create a new folder, named for example "www" or "http".
6. Add a new macro, choose event TellStick - turn on.
7. Choose unit to switch on.
8. Create a new file in the new folder (i.e. for example "C:\Program\EventGhost\www" or "C:\Program\EventGhost\http"). In this example the name of the file is eventghost.html. Enter the following content into the file:
<html>
<head>
<title>EventGhost Webserver example</title>

<body>
<table border="0">
<tr>

<td width="30"><a href="eventghost.html?Example-Device_OFF"><img border="0" src="lamp-off.png"></a></td>
