It is a public website, but I thought there was a special way to view it when you're actually on the web server.

Even if it responds to 'localhost', you will still see the same thing you see from the public access. &nbsp;It is possible to configure a site to have special restricted access locally but that is not very common.

I have recently been tasked to maintain a website developed by someone else on a Windows box. The website is developed using java and html.<br />
<br />
How do I test the website modules directly from the web server. <br />
<br />
Can I run <a href="http://localhost" rel="ugc">http://localhost</a>&nbsp;or something like that?<br />
Do I need to specify a port? If so, how can I figure out which one to use?<br />
<br />
Thanks
