The first thing that happens is a dialog comes up asking for a name.
The instructions don't say what this name means. I don't know what to
put in this box. I put "Foo".
Then page has a sentence I don't understand:
"This will give you a row in which you can define a mapping from a
folder in your Orion user workspace to the location on the server
where the folder will be deployed."
I don't care about those things. I want to serve my project at a URL.
The first time around there is a nice menu to pick the project, I get:
/Purple /
Ok the RHS must be related to the URL. Which URL I have no idea.
(Actually what I really want is just to serve my project, EOM. I don't
want a "site", just load my .html file!)
If I go back to the Foo site I will no longer see the nice menu.
Instead there is a picture of a folder and when I click on it I get a
new web page listing the folder contents.
In addition this sentence makes no sense
" Go back to the list of site configurations and click the Start
button () next to your new site configuration."
There is no start button.
