Re: AS/400 Web Server

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

Thank you for the response.  It appears I just have to delve into
using the port 2001.  I have been using OpsNav to drag and
drop.  It's not too difficult of a process.

My manager appears pleased with the work we have done so far and we've
been given the task of setting it up as an internal corporate web
server.  As I mentioned above I need to work with the 2001
configuration or WRKHTTPCFG, but I am wondering if through this we can
set it up to map a "url", for lack of a better term, internally
so our employees do not have to enter the IP address.

Any help is greatly appreciated and you can email me directly if you
wish.
