Re: HTTP Configuration

Frank,

You need to look into why your *ADMIN server isn't running. You should
see a QSYSOPR message saying that the ADMIN instance failed. You'll also
see the job number. Do a WRKJOB for it and take a look at the job logs.
If you've never had the HTTP server running, you need to make sure that
TCP/IP is set up correctly. A common problem is not having an entry for
LOCALHOST (it should point to 127.0.0.1) in the hosts table (CFGTCP
option 10). You may also need to have an entry with your system name
pointing to it's internal IP address.

Once you get the *ADMIN server running, you can start up the default
Apache instance to play around with. The instance name is APACHEDFT. I
would suggest using the new server wizard to create an a new instance
and leave the APACHEDFT one alone. If you create a new instance, specify
a port other than 80 so you don't have port conflicts if someone else
starts up the default instances.

I would also recommend changing both default instances so they don't
auto start. Use the *ADMIN site to change this setting. You'll need to
go into each server and under general settings, there's an autostart
setting. I think it will be set to *GLOBAL. Change it to *NO and save
your changes.

Given the following information, would it be safe to configure the HTTP 
server or what would be safe to change in the HTTP server configuration?
I would like to have it setup so that I can experiment with some RPG CGI

applications for learning purposes.

Thank you,

Frank

5722WDS   *COMPATIBLE  WebSphere Development ToolSet
I've included all that appeared relevant.  Let me know if you need more 
info.

1) I ran the command "STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)", then in 
I.E., I 
used "http://my.iseries.internal.ip.address:2001"; to get to the HTTP
admin 
page.  I then get 
a page that says "The page cannot be displayed".

2) I ran the command "WRKACTJOB SBS(QHTTPSVR)" and this is all I see:
Subsystem/Job   User            Type            CPU %           Function

Status
QHTTPSVR                QSYS            SBS             0,0 DEQW

The following processes are NOT running:
ADMIN                   QTMHHTTP        BCH             0,0 PGM-QZHBHTTP

SIGW
ADMIN                   QTMHHTTP        BCI             0,0 PGM-QZSRLOG 
SIGW
ADMIN                   QTMHHTTP        BCI             0,1 PGM-QZSRHTTP

SIGW

3) I ran the command "CFGTCPAPP APP(*HTTP)" and chose option 2. "Work
with 
HTTP configuration".
