Every channel must be hosted by a web server. This can be any http server, including any Mac OS X machine running Personal Web Server.
Some possible locations:
Path
Base URL
/Library/WebServer/Documents/
http://localhost/
<your home directory>/Sites/
http://localhost/~yourUserName/
<your iDisk>/Sites/
http://homepage.mac.com/<iDiskUserName>/
If you choose to use your local machine as a the host server (the first two options listed), you will need to turn on Personal Web Server. Open the Sharing panel of System Preferences and make sure "Personal Web Sharing" is checked.
In order for Sherlock to access channels on the same machine or "localhost", the environment variable SHERLOCK_DEBUG_CHANNELS
must be set. To enable this configuration, open a Terminal window on your system and define the environment variable SHERLOCK_DEBUG_CHANNELS
with a value of 1.
SHERLOCK_DEBUG_CHANNELS
environment variable is set to 1, enabling a channel debugging mode. This enables a Debug menu within Sherlock, and also enables debug messages to be sent from JavaScript and XQuery to the Console.sherlock://
URL from a web page or an email sent to them. You can add this channel by typing in a link to the channel's xml file in a popular browser, and hitting return. The URL will depend on where you put the channel. For example, a URL for a channel hosted in the /Library/WebServer/Documents/
folder might look like...
sherlock://localhost/MyChannel/SherlockChannel.xml?action=add
