Howdy folks,
I've started working with serving web pages from RPG. I started with a very nice tutorial showing how to use the QtmhWrStout API, very easy and produced a basic web page on the first try. However, it limits web page size to the size of the API variable. So, moving on to newer methods I've been working with CGIDEV2 for a couple of days now. Unlike the first method, I've had absolutely no success producing a simple web page with CGIDEV2.
After resolving countless errors (thanks to all those who encountered them long before I did and offered solutions on various websites!), I now get no errors in any log but still no web page is displayed. When I try to run the program via the browser, I get the opening program dialog box with the browser asking me what I want to do with this program. I suspect that I don't have something configured correctly, but frankly don't know what. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
The RPG is compiled into a library called CGILIB. The HTML is in a folder off the root called /html. It's supposed to display a list of my customer master file. Here is the HTML file and the corresponding RPG file (I took comments and such out to save space):
**********
/$Header
content-type: text/html
<html>
<head>
<title>My Customer List</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My Customer List</h1>
<table border="1">
/$List
<tr>
<td>/%Cmcomp%/</td>
<td>/%Cmcust%/</td>
<td>/%Cmname%/</td>
</tr>
/$Footer
</table>
</body>
</html>
