remember after changing the config you have to restart the server.

I have changed config but still no signon showing and I cannot see
anything
in trace logs but I will study them more carefully.

It is 9.00pm here in the UK and I have to stop now. Thanks for all your
help. I fear that I shall be asking for more.
Many thanks

Yes, it is 2 lower case v's. That log will often point out config.

errors.

Thanks,
Todd

I have now tried that and found the spool file but nothing seems

untoward

and still nothing in the errorlog. I assume that the letters were - V V
not
-W.



What

2009/1/23 <TAllen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Will starting the HTTP server with the -vv option give you what you

need?

ex. STRTCPSVR SERVER (*HTTP) HTTPSVR(<INSTANCE_NAME> '-vv')

I think the spool file is available under the QTMHHTTP user profile.

Thanks,
Todd

Many thanks - I am researching to see if I can find such a log.

NOthing

appears in the normal errorlog.

It looks okay but like I said, I don't have any way to test

anything.

You

may want to look in the InfoCenter and see if there is a way to get

the

server to give you a trace log. I think the classic server can do

that

but I

don't remember. You may also find some information in the HTTP error

log

but

I think what it shows isn't quite as useful at the Apache based

server

log.

Matt

You must think me very rude not to have replied to you before but

somehow

I

missed your kind post. As I still have not solved the problem, I

was

researching today and so came across your reply.

Of course I tried your suggestion at once,

my code is

Protection TestProt {
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
Authtype Basic
ACLOverride Off
PostMask All
GetMask All
ServerID www.erros.co.uk
Userid %%CLIENT%%
}
Protect /cgi-bin/stipple/* TestProt
CGIMode %%EBCDIC%%
PersistentCGITimeout 60 minutes
MaxPersistentCGITimeout 60 minutes
Exec /cgi-bin/hello /QSYS.LIB/E280CGIOBJ.LIB/hello
Exec /cgi-bin/stipple /QSYS.LIB/E290PRDOBJ.LIB/e29
Exec /cgi-bin/e29rpp/* /QSYS.LIB/E290PRDOBJ.LIB/E29RPP.PGM

I have restarted the server but still no luck

Does your memory go back far enough to suggest what I am doing

wrong?

Many thanks

Rob

2009/1/13 Haas, Matt (CL Tech Sv) <matt.haas@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I had a minute to look at an old config and here is an example

that

should

work:

Protection TESTPROT {
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
ACLOverride Off
PostMask All
GetMask All
AuthType BASIC
ServerID some_name
UserID %%CLIENT%%
}

Protect /cgi-bin/stipple/* TESTPROT

Note that I have no way to test this.

I saw it only again recently but I am not sure where. I thought

that

it

was
on one of the sites I have been using to learn CGIDEV2 but I have

looked

at

the pages I have book marked recently, from Search400 and Easy400,

and

I

cannot find it. I didn't dream it up. If I come across it again,

I

will

let you know.

I had already tried the InfoCenter but can't find the answer. I

need

to

find a site with lots of configuration examples rather than simply

the

syntax.

Many thanks

Rob,

Where did you find it published that the Apache version isn't

the

best

for

V5R1 (it does stink on V4R5)? I ran it there for several years

without

problems. In fact, it made my life much, much easier since

virtual

hosts

were easier to maintain.

As far as configuring the Original server goes, I don't think I

have

any

of

those configurations around any more. I know that I learned how

to

set

all

of that up using the documentation from the InfoCenter. It may

be

worth

a

look there.

Thanks Matt

I am using the original HTTP server on this V5R1 box because I

have

read

several well known published experts say that this is best on

V5R1

and

Apache should be left for V5R2 or for V5R3 when there is no

choice.

I

do

use it on a V5R3 box but, since I rarely need to change the

configuration,

I
am even less skilled on that than on the Original server.

I tried putting in a Protect statement but without success. I

did

restart

the server.

I already had a protection directive - please could you tell me

what

the

protec tstatement should say and where it should go?

Many thanks

Rob Dixon

2009/1/13 Haas, Matt (CL Tech Sv) <matt.haas@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Rob,

First off, why are you still using the Original server? The

Apache

based

one is much, much better.

To answer your question, you are missing the Protect

statement.

Matt

I have got to the stage with my CGIDEV2 development where I

now

want

to

work
using User IDs. According to the manual, including

Protection /cgi-bin/stipple/* {
Authtype Basic
Userid %%CLIENT%%
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
}

in my HTTPCFG file should do the trick but nothing happens. I

have

put

this ahead of my Exec statement which reads

Map /cgi-bin/stipple/*

/QSYSLIB.LIB/E290PRDOBJ.LIB/E290G00000.PGM

This exec statement works fine.

I wish to use standard User profiles rather than a password

file.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks

Rob Dixon
