web project problems

[cslaci]

Hi there

I am a student, and therefore I don’t understand a lot of thing around WCM, but I have to learn it. So sorry for that question, but I don’t understand some things.
1. I try to create a new web project. There are few steps in wizzard, but in the second step, its asking me for the host name. I can either put IP our name there, but it is possible, if I just use localhost on my local PC and it should work??! Or not?
This is my 1. web project and I inserted these as fallows: it was ASR not FSR
-   Type: Live Server / Test server (I tried both  :x )
-   Host: localhost
-   User name and psw was already filled out and that’s all

2. in the configure web forms section, I can put my own forms there. Its just a simple XML scheme? What tags I have to use there, and where can I found those syntax? An example?

I am done whit the creation, I go to the project, try to preview website, I got a new window but whit http://admin.projects.www--sandbox.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/

WHAT IS THIS and  How do I get that?

Thanks a lot for reading, and  if You can, pls describe it.

Some answers.

You are setting up deployment servers.   So you put the hostname of the server you are deploying to.    Or if you are not deploying to a remote server localhost is fine.

I don't know about forms so can't answer.

The web site preview is done thru the "virtualisation server".   The VS is a separate instance of tomcat that servers up content from an alfresco repository.
