Save plain html pages with a .html extension. Once AOLserver is running, you can view the static and dynamic pages with any web browser, including MSIE.
We need more information in order to help you. The directory you save your html file in is platform and configuration specific. Look at the "Test AOLserver" section at https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4/aolserver.html Are you starting AOLserver with a command like ./bin/nsd -t sample-config.tcl ? If so, what file are you specifying with -t ? What does that file contain? It might also help if we knew where you found that version of AOLserver.
