Re: Using NET to connect to a NETSERVER share

I got it to work with your help.

Simply added "Start" to the command and it found msedge and ran the file://
url command.

Thank you.

Darryl.

simply by using file:// instead of http://

I am able to configure apache. I was just seeing if there is a specific
configuration needed.

I have played with the browser and had partial success. I can enter the
command File://system/share/pdf_file.pdf and this works.

I tried to run it from STRPCCMD and the system responds with :
'file:' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

I need to find out how to get it to recognize the File: in the STRPCCMD.

You can browse the default configuration file using WRKLNK
"/www/apachedft/conf/httpd.conf"

But you really need to study HTTP server configuration topics in the IBM

Knowledge Center to really learn what Apache HTTP configuration
directives
are supported, and what they mean.

@NathanHow do we configure the HTTP server? I had not considered this.
Thanks, Darryl.

You'll probably eventually figure out how to do this with Netserver.
However, perhaps I should mention that your HTTP server can also be
configured to serve PDF files from a hyperlink.

I am able to connect to the share using my user ID but I have more
authority than our users.

I need assistance figuring out why the system will not let me use
the
DOS
commands to set up a windows share to the shared folder in the
IFS. I
have
given the user permission to use the share and folder.

Background:
I have reports that are AFPDS reports which I convert to a PDF. I
then
use
NETSERVER to display the PDF on the user's screen in a browser or
acrobat.

To achieve this I do a

NET USE I: /DELETE.

followed by

NET USE I: \\SYSTEM_NAME\SHARE /USER:USER_NAME

It prompts for the password which I key in.

Problem:
IBM i rejects the connection with "System error 5 has occurred"
and
"Access is denied"

I cannot track down what the OS does not like.

Can anyone help with this issue?

TIA, Darryl Freinkel
