Re: STRTCPSVR not starting up an http server instance in startup program.

Vern,

Thanks for your good explanation of this.
When I prompt the chghttpa command, the default value is *YES.
(on our development box it is *NO)

Since this is the case and AutoStart for cgiprod instance was a N, I took
your advice and used the httpadmin link and set cgiprod to AutoStart Y.
(Interestingly, displaying the instance file before and after editing cleared
up a couple 'odd' characters at the end of the line in the file -- like the
wrong EOL character(s) were in there .?.)

Anyway, next IPL or next mimix switch, I'll see how it worked, thanks to everyone.

In recent and maybe not-even-so-recent versions of the OS (V5R1 at least),
you can tell the system to start HTTP server instances automatically.
There is a global setting for this that you can set by issuing the
CHGHTTPA command and set the AUTOSTART to *YES.

You can set each instance individually by using the port 2001 browser
interface for managing HTTP server instances. There you can say to use the
global setting or override it. So if the global is *YES, you can say
*NO for a certain instance. And vice versa.

The config file QUSRSYS/QATMHINSTC has a member for each instance and the record
there has a tag that is set by what you select in the management interface.

So jump back to the future and get rid of those things in QSTRUP and use the
"new" features. (I'm smiling at Dan across the cube wall, BTW!)

HTH
