Re: Running a website on the i

First, you're better off posting this question in the WEB400 list here.

The Apache server on i is fantastic - information on setting it up is in 
infoCenter. You can run all manner of instances, with different ports 
and all.

First you want to STRTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR)(*ADMIN)

Then go to your browser and enter http://[your i ip address or host 
name]:2001  - this gets you to a browser page for administering lots of 
things - at 7.1 there's an option near the bottom for internet stuff, 
IIRC. Or you could try port 2005 instead of 2001 and see what you get. 
It's been a while since I've been there.

I've never set up wiki on i, but it should be similar to how it's done 
elsewhere - again, the WEB400 list will be much better on this - get 
thee hence, knave!

Wikis often use PHP, so you might need to get into that realm - again, 
WEB400 to the rescue, most likely.

And google is your friend, of course.
