Not that you mention it, I believe it is installed on our i. Thanks ever so much for the info.

Apache comes pre-installed on 99% of all AS400 servers in my experience. It
runs "natively" as far as I am concerned as IBM has added their own hooks
outside of the base Apache HTTP server available from www.apache.org. Note
that it simply runs under subsystem QHTTPSVR on the same hardware that your
green screen users are on (i.e. QINTER).

And the Apache server is pretty each to configure for RPG+CGI. Here is the
config I use:

Listen *:8181

DocumentRoot /www/myrxs/htdocs

ScriptAliasMatch ^/MYRXS/(.*) /qsys.lib/MYRXS.lib/$1.pgm

<Directory /qsys.lib/MYRXS.lib>
allow from all
order allow,deny
options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

The one thing I believe to be lacking is a "RPG CGI best practices"
book/course that helps you skip past all the yuck stuff that many have to
figure out for themselves (i.e. how do you access tables outside of the
library your RPG CGI is running in?). Brad Stone you listenin' ? ;-)

HTH,
Aaron Bartell

Raul,

What if RPG is out of consideration?

Your point about .Net requiring two or more servers caught my eye and made
me wince. But.. if one must use something like Apache for their
environment/language to work, isn't that using two or more servers as well?

Thanks,

Dave
