11. Working with Sophie Server
Sophie Server allows you to share and download Sophie books through a webpage. Sophie Server is an application that can be deployed on any web server allowing the creation of a social network of Sophie books and users.
Not all Sophie Server functionality is currently implemented: it should be recognized that in this release, Sophie Server exists for demonstration purposes only. The demonstration Sophie Server can be visited here.

Working with Sophie Server as an administrator
This release of Sophie provides the first public release of the Sophie Server application. This is in the main download package. To run Sophie Server, first follow the installation instructions for Sophie. Then run the file sophie2-alpha-3\sophie2_server.bat (on Windows) or sophie2-alpha-3/sophie2_server.sh (on Linux or a Mac). To test if your Sophie Server is working, navigate to http://localhost:8003. If Sophie Server is running correctly, you should see the standard Sophie Server interface; you'll be able to create new accounts and login just as with our demonstration server.
Be aware that this is server software; it does open a port on your computer. If you're uncomfortable with this (or don't know what this means), don't run Sophie Server.
