RE: HTTP *ADMIN starts and immediately stops

Mark -
Thanks for your assistance - comments in-line . . .

"Do you have authority to start the tcp service?"
Yes, I have QSECOFR-equivalent authority with *IOSYSCFG, *ALLOBJ, etc.

"I am also wondering about your PTF level?"
So am I! ;-)  When I display the QHTTPSVR/SF99036 dtaara, I see the following:
Group PTF#: SF99036-01  V4R5M0 August 18, 2000
so obviously we're quite a bit down on PTF levels.  I've checked around and 
apparently there were some ambitious plans for this system - Websphere and the 
Digital Certificate piece of OS/400 were installed at some point.  They are 
currently running several web-based apps which use the original server so it's 
possible that one of these products hosed the ADMIN config on install.


"Check your port numbers too make sure you are still mapped out
for the config."
There is no port number specified in the *ADMIN config.  In fact, the entire 
config looks odd to me (but I'm not sure how it's supposed to look).

Notice that I separated the "ServerInit" directive with blank lines.  This 
entire directive is one line and is the one that I believe is causing the 
error.  I have checked jvm.properties the best I could and I don't see a 
problem with it (although it *does* reference the "INTRANET" member of 
QUSRSYS/QATMHTTPC file, which seems odd when using the *ADMIN instance).


"Make sure these are in your service table entries:
as-admin-http                            2001  tcp
as-admin-http                            2001  udp
as-admin-https                           2010  tcp
as-admin-https                           2010  udp"

All are in the service table and I verified that no other services are using 
ports 2001 or 2010.

Thanks,

Steve
