RE: HTTP Server pba HTP8420 error when starting

Peter,

I ran into some similar problems trying to convert a Classic server to pbA.
I eventually gave up trying to get the covnersion to work and created the
new config by hand.  You can use the converted statements as a guide though
until you are comfortable with pbA.

I think the real problem here is that you are trying to use a DB2 type file
for logging purposes...

/QSYS.LIB/QUSRSYS.LIB/LPHERRLOG.FILE/HTTPDLOG.MBR

Instead, try something like this...

ErrorLog logs/basic_error_log

Now your errors will be logged in your web server's xxx/logs directory in a
file called basic_error_log.  The next upgrade for pbA is supposed to
include the ability to log by date but for now you will have to deal with
one big file.

HTH,
