Validator S.A.C. 0.10.0

Validator S.A.C. (Stand Alone Complex) is a stand-alone, easy to install, version of the W3C's HTML / XHTML Markup Validator for Mac OS X. Validator S.A.C. is a normal Mac OS X application. No installation is required, just put Validator S.A.C. where you need it (hard drive, flash drive, CD-R, etc). Validate using the stand-alone Favelet, drag and drop files and URLs onto the application icon, or simply use File > Open. Validator S.A.C. can also be setup as a Web Service, allowing users to validate over the local network.

Because the Validator S.A.C. application contains a complete working version of the W3C Validator, it can be used to setup the Validator as a web service on a Mac.

Validator S.A.C. comes with a sample Apache configuration file, which assumes Validator S.A.C. is located in the Application folder. To install the configuration file, place it in Apache's auto-include directory, such as /etc/httpd/other (or /etc/httpd/sites on Mac OS X Server). After restarting Apache, the service will be live. Here is how to install the configuration file and restart Apache using a Terminal shell:

% cd /Applications/Validator-SAC.app/Contents/Resources % sudo cp validator/httpd/conf/validator-SAC.conf /etc/apache2/other % sudo apachectl graceful

Now you should be able to access the Validator web service at http://localhost/w3c-validator/. The configuration file also registers the service with Bonjour (Rendezvous), so anyone on your local network can access the service from a Bonjour enabled browser (for example, Safari's Bonjour bookmark menu).
