Re: How do I get usable file permissions using the IBM Web Administration for i5/OS on port :2001

Once you get an understanding of what you are trying to do, it is much, much faster to manage by hand than through the GUI. The GUI also stinks badly when dealing with sites that use virtually hosts. My primary gripe there is that it gives no clue to where you are at in the configuration. I have some fairly complex configurations and the only time I use the GUI is when I want to enable a new feature on the server I'm working on or creating a new instance.

My biggest gripe with the admin instance is that it is interminably slow. But I'd much rather use it than try to build an Apache instance by hand.

In this case it will be an intranet but I hear you. But I am wondering
if there are some serious shortcomings with the Web Administrator as I
have had other issues.

It is my belief that we need to eat our own cooking, and if we like the
i5 then we'd better figure out how to make it useful in today's business
climate.

But then again, I hung with OS/2 for way too long, too.
