I'm not sure how this is a response to what I said.

Nonetheless, there are advantages to multiple server instances. Simplicity is one of these. Maybe this can be compared to the simplicity in the single modules of modular programming, but some might consider that a stretch.

The other is administration - if all of your apps are configured in one file, with multiple "listen" directives and virtual hosts or redirects, then when you shut it down, you shut down everything. With multiple server instances, if there is a problem with one, it does not have to affect everyone else.

So there's no right or wrong here - Apache has so many options, so many ways to do things - you'd almost think it is Perl! TMTOWTDI - There's more than one way to do it!

Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx Larry, I think Rob wants to change HTTP stuff - the IP addresses, if any, in the Apache config files. It isn't usually necessary even to have any IP addresses there, but it is certainly an option. There is also the QUSRSYS/QATMHINSTC file - it has a member for each Apache instance - these should NOT be modified, but they do contain the path to the httpd.conf files. HTH Vern
