Point taken. I'm just in the 'fooling around' stages. I actually planned to
place the templates in a private directory on the IFS.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

Others have already answered your question, so I won't.  However, let me
just recommend one thing: Do *NOT* store your HTML templates in
/www/apache/htdocs  (or whatever you use for your document root)

The point behind that directory is that Apache makes the files in it
available to web browsers.  You don't want to put TEMPLATES in that
directory, you want to put finished web pages that people can view
directly.

To get to the template, you want people to run your program.

Since your program runs on the iSeries, and is not a web browser somewhere
else on the Internet, it can access files anywhere in the IFS, and is not
limited to what Apache allows the outside world access to.

So, put your templates somewhere else.  Maybe /www/apache/templates
(assuming that you want to keep it grouped together)
