ABSTRACT
In computing, a server is any combination of hardware or software designed to
provide services
to clients.
When used alone, the term typically refers to a computer which may be
running a server
operating system, but is commonly used to refer to any software or dedicated
hardware capable of providing services. With the advance in technology in
field of computer related organization, a lot of things are now automated. As a
matter of fact, Information technology has a vital role in the design and
implementation of an Simple Web Server Application. Almost all our Higher
Institution has gone into Simple Web Server Application because of the extraordinary
benefit resulting from information technology. Information technology has enabled
a Simple Web Server Application to project work successfully. With this Simple
Web Server Application, students’ data/information are well collected,
processed and stored for the management purpose.
ORGANIZATION
OF PROJECT WORK
This project
work is primarily designed to give an insight to Simple Web Server Application.
Chapter one
talks about introduction to Simple Web Server Application, study of problem and
objectives as well as definition of the scope.
Chapter two
comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information
about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the
design and implantation of new system.
Chapter six
document the project work, while chapter seven summaries, conclusion and suggestions were made.

1.1 INTRODUCTORY
CONCEPTS
As most nations of the world are becoming information technology
inclined, Nigeria is not left behind. Even as most organizations and companies
in the foreign countries have implemented information technology in their
films, likewise most of Nigeria’s organizations and companies have also enjoyed
the benefits of information technology.
Even as most foreign
countries like America, China and India are experiencing information technology
boom, Nigeria is yet to come to such level. With the communication satellite
launched recently in our country will explore the hidden treasure of
information technology.
A file server may be dedicated or non-dedicated. A dedicated
server is generally designed specifically for use as a file server, with
workstations attached for reading and writing files and databases. A
workstation may share files with other workstations on the network directly
however by turning on its “Server” service and then by creating a
“Share” — this process creates a non-dedicated file server that is
primarily being used as a workstation.
File servers may also be categorized by the method of access:
Internet file servers are frequently accessed by File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) or by HTTP (but are different from web servers, that often
provide dynamic web content in addition to static files). Servers on a LAN are
usually accessed by SMB/CIFS protocol (Windows and Unix-like) or NFS
protocol (Unix-like systems). Database servers, that
provide access to a shared database via a database device driver, are not
regarded as file servers. Most file servers are simultaneously print servers too, as they
provide access to printers via network. A single file serving computer may be
accessible by multiple means: it may run an FTP server, an SMB server, etc.,
serving the same files
As I consider the design
and implementation of Simple Web Server Application, it is necessary to mention
here that information technology have a lot to play in achieving this.
Implementing Simple Web Server Application entails having access to internet,
having a website and the place of strong and reliable database.
All these must be put into
consideration and they are well treated in the subsequent section of this
project work.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
PRIOR TO THE establishment of the Institute of Management and Technology,
Enugu, there were two institutions in Enugu – The College of Technology which
offered courses in Engineering and Laboratory Technology, up to the Ordinary
Diploma Level and the Institute of Administration which provided short
in-service Training Courses for Civil Servants of various grades. The college
of Technology was part of the Ministry of Education and was controlled directly
by that Ministry. Similarly, the Institute of Administration was controlled by
the Ministry of Establishments. Both institutions were staffed by Civil
Servants who were posted to the two institutions and could be re-posted to
other departments of ministries according to the needs of the service. They
were not specially recruited as teachers. Thus, the administration and
operation of the institutions closely followed the routine in the Civil
Service. Both institutions were separate and located on different sites.
The college of Technology was part of the Ministry of Education and was
controlled directly by that Ministry. Similarly, the Institute of
Administration was controlled by the Ministry of Establishments. Both
institutions were staffed by Civil Servants who were posted to the two
institutions and could be re-posted to other departments of ministries
according to the needs of the service. They were not specially recruited as
teachers.
However, the need for a higher institution of learning to upgrade the training in technology and management education has begun to be felt for some time. The academic program of the College of Technology, Enugu, was no longer adequate for the assessed needs of Nigeria at the threshold of industrial take-off. If the industrialization of the country was to be achieved and maintained at a high standard, the technologists, technicians and processionals needed a better and more functional training. It is clear that successful industrial development depends as much on the technologists as on the management skills and expertise available to the country
1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Owing to (i) the difficulties student encounter in manual filling and submission of IMT forms (ii) time wasted in getting information from IMT officers on how to fill the form. (iii) Loss of some submitted forms due to mismanagement of IMT officers and (iv) Long queue the students face in collecting their IMT Receipts, the need arises for the development of Simple Web Server Application to alleviate these problems.
