Thanks Buck, and others...great info as usual. I've always used the browser 2001/HTTPAdmin and then clicked on the global config for apache but I see there are other servers and we have several running. Well, I'm gonna restart and see what happens. I figure Friday late afternoon on a test box shouldn't interrupt too many users.

Hi Frank,
here's no simple IBM i way to find out what 'stuff' a given Apache
erver is doing. That's because the server is like a middle-man between
he browser and jobs running on i. If there's no web traffic, there may
ot be a server job running, or there might be a server job left over
rom the web request 10 minutes ago.
So as you note, shutting down the Apache server could shut down a pile
f different web services. The way I'd approach this question is to
ook at the configuration file for the given Apache instance you want to
urn down. wrklnk '/www' and then drill down into the instance. Let's
ay it's apachedft. Go into the conf directory and have a look at the
ttpd.conf file. If someone set things up nicely, there will be a
Directory ...> directive for each directory that is open(ish) to the
eb. Those names should be a good start as to the services that are open.
But that's not the entire picture. I have a <Directory
www/apachedft/htdocs/perl-bin> directive, which tells me that there's
ome Perl stuff running, but what? For that, I have to go into wrklnk
www/apachedft/htdocs/perl-bin and see what files are there. Those will
escribe the Perl services available.
Follow the directives one by one to map out what's set up on that Apache
nstance.

Hi Folks, thanks for this info but how about an answer to this question. I
nstalled software that I know uses the apache server and I know how to restart
he apache server but how do I know what other interruptions would be caused on
y system by restarting the apache server? Is there a way to tell what's using
he apache server, perhaps by wrkobjlck or some other cmd?
Thanks, Frank

Indeed, yes, but the reader helps organize the information very nicely.

You can drill down to the logs via wrklnk command.
wrklnk 'www/apachedft/logs'

Whew - I'd be VERY surprised if the Apache server instance logs are
directly off the root of the IFS - I certainly hope not!
There are 2 kinds of logs - an access log and an error log - I believe
that one of them is in a fairly standard format, which log readers will
understand. The other is a pain in the neck - been there, done that, no
t-shirt!
Google for "apache log reader" - you'll get tons of hits. The access log
is very useful, in my mind. The error log gets more specific to IBM i
and is not as useful for us yet. Very proprietary, it seems.
Good luck

you should be able to find them in the www directory, then drill down
into
our directories and look for a directory called logs
