RE: http server--linking welcome page to other files

For the Pass statments, try this one directive in place of all the others:

Pass /* /www/*

and add this welcome directive:

Welcome welcome.html

I would suggest removing the pass /root/* ... directive.  It's redundant.  

The pass directive above will route everything to the /www directory and the
welcome directive specifies that welcome.html is your default file.  So, a
request to:

http://www.youras400.com

will display the file /www/welcome.html

http://www.youras400.com/aboutus.html

will display the file /www/aboutus.html

http://www.youras400.com/images/image1.gif

will be routed to the file /www/images/image1.gif
(This is handy for using subdirectories for images or anything else in your
html files).

If you ever want to run multiple domains on your AS/400, this is possible as
well.  Your Pass directive would look like this...

Pass /* /ourstuff/* www.dns1.com
Pass/* /otherstuff/* www.dns2.com
