If the default port is already used, a consecutive port number is used. Once the server is up, by default, the server address opens in a new tab of your default web browser.\n\n## Hosting Files on a Local Web Server\n*You can quickly host files on a local web server by running Hosty in an appropriate directory.*\n\n### Before you begin\n1. Download the latest version of **Hosty** for your operating system. See the [Latest Hosty Release](https://github.com/rafalkaron/Hosty/releases/latest).\n2. Unzip **Hosty**.\n\n### Procedure\n1. Double-click **Hosty**.\n1. If needed, accept every security prompt. See [Accepting macOS Security Prompts](https://github.com/rafalkaron/Hosty/wiki/Accepting-macOS-Security-Prompts) or [Accepting Windows Security Prompts](https://github.com/rafalkaron/Hosty/wiki/Accepting-Windows-Security-Prompts).  \n**Result:** Your default web browser opens the local web server address in a new tab.\n1. Fill in the **Directory to host** field with the directory that you want to host by doing one of the following:  \n**Note:** The default directory is your **Downloads** directory.\n    * Edit the **Directory to host** field.\n    * Click **Browse** and select a directory.\n1. **Optional:** If you do not want to automatically open the web server address in your web browser, clear the **Web browser preview** check box.\n2. Click **Start Server** and accept any security prompts.\n3. If you want to host another directory, click **Stop Server** and repeat the procedure.\n\n### Next steps\n* To finish, close **Hosty**.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n*Resolve common issues with Hosty.*\n\n### The hosted content does not update\n* Clear your web browser cache.\n* Open the web server address in incognito (private) mode.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frafalkaron%2Fhosty","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frafalkaron%2Fhosty","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frafalkaron%2Fhosty/lists"}
