WebMate

Setup and Run

After you download WebMate system, you should get a zip file. Follow the instructions below for setting up WebMate on a Unix or Windows platform.
  1. Install the webmate-beta program.
    1. Windows 95/98:

    2. Unzip the "webmate-beta.zip" file. Use a program such as WinZip (available from Shareware.com) to uncompress the .zip file. Create a new directory on your hard drive called "webmate-beta," and extract all the files into this directory.
    3. Change to the directory where the WebMate files are located. Use an MS-Dos window to do this. (You must have jdk installed on your machine.) In the example below, this directory is called "webmate-beta." Then launch the program:

      c:\> cd \webmate-beta
      c:\webmate-beta> \jdk1.1.8\bin\java WebMate

      If you are running a different version of jdk, you will have to change jdk1.1.8 in the example above to the version number you are running. The command above assumes that your version of jdk is running off the root directory.

      The command is case-sensitive, so make sure you type it exactly as shown. (A lower-case "m" will return an error.)

      Unix:

    1. Unzip the "webmate-beta.zip" file. Type "unzip webmate-beta" at the command prompt. Make sure the zip file is located in the directory where you want the files extracted. Otherwise, specify the directory where you want the files extracted in the "unzip". In the example below, the .zip file is extracted to the "usr/tmp" directory.
    2. Set your CLASSPATH to point to the directory where the WebMate files are located. (You must have jdk installed on your machine.) Then launch the program. In the example below, the java command returns a "can't find class" error until the CLASSPATH is set to point to the directory (in this case, usr/tmp) where the Webmate.class file is located.

      > java WebMate
      Can't find class WebMate
      > setenv CLASSPATH /usr/tmp
      > java WebMate

      The command is case-sensitive, so make sure you type it exactly as shown. (A lower-case "m" will return an error.)

  2. Enter the user name. You can't do this in the beta version.



  3. If your web browser has already used the proxy, make this proxy as the proxy of WebMate, and let WebMate as the proxy of the web browser. If not, just click OK button to the next step.



  4. Setup the port that WebMate will listen on for web browser requests. The default value is 55555.



  5. Setup the hosts that can connect to WebMate system. By default, WebMate listens on port 55555 and will only allow connections from the host it was started on.



  6. At last you will prompt with an important note. After you follow the note and correctly set up the web browser's http proxy, you succeed to finish setup procedure.



I am very happy to see that you are smiling
