Re: Web server info

There's really only one "web server".

The standard HTTP server (powered by Apache) that ships with OS/400. (note that I've heard of some
installing and using the latest and greatest version of Apache downloaded directly from apache.org.)

There used to be another option, the original IBM provided HTTP Server for iSeries which was dropped
at v5r3.

WAS, WAS Express, and Tomcat are "web application servers" which are separate and distinctly
different animals than "web servers".


You can't use a web application server without a web server, but you could have just a web server
without a web application server.

What do you want to do?

Since I wasn't aware that there was even more than one, gives you some idea of how much I know on this subject.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi, Pat:

Exactly what "web server" are you talking about?

If it is the standard HTTP server powered by Apache that ships with OS/400, see:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246716.html

Or, if it is WAS Express, see:
http://www.mc-store.com/5064.html

Or, I suggest you might want to try Apache Tomcat. See:

and

For starters...
