FP2000: Error Message Using JuniorNet with a Web Server

After you install JuniorNet on your computer, you may receive the following error message when you try to create a web on a Web server on your local computer: When you try to open a web on your local computer, you receive the following message: NOTE: Depending on the HTTP location that you type, the error message may be different. For example, the loopback address (127.0.0.1), the computer's IP address, or the computer name may appear instead of localhost. Also, if you try to access a subweb, the path that you typed appears in the message.

If you examine the wecerr.txt file, you see the same error message as when you try to create a new web.
