I’m sorry. I think I have wasted enough of everyone’s time. And to be honest, I am working full time on something else and don’t have time to spend on it either. I will just call Alan Seiden and he will have one of his guys set it up. I really don’t understand why it can’t just be done using the Admin function that is available.

Thanks to all of you for your attempt to help. Take care.

David,

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post in _Plain_Text_ (NOT screenshots that we can't edit) the content of the Apache config file that Zend set up on install. THAT is the one you need to work with. By creating a new one you created a new problem because you have to link the new config to the fast-cgi stuff needed for PHP to run the wiki.

Even if you add the required directives to this new configuration it still won't be able to run the wiki php scripts without further work. Just go back to the one Zend set up and we'll work from there. It is not hard.

Just post the config file in text form and we'll tell you what to change.

OK, I know I am not doing this exactly (or at all) the way you guys are suggesting, but I am trying to get this done as quickly as possible so I can go on to things I understand. I will look back over the great example you have given me a bit later.

I used the IBM Web Administrator thingy to create an HTTP server that I pointed at the directory I am trying to work with. The example that Paul did in his video seemed to be dealing with an empty directory. The person I am working for has already downloaded Media Wiki into /www/wiki and so I am stuck with that. Attached is a ink to the server general properties in the web app, plus the configuration script that it created.

I have the server running on the production machine, and I try to go to http://“ip address”:1212/index.php but I get ‘you do not have permission to index.php on this server’. I get the same message if I use /www/wiki/ or even if I miss-spell index as indexx.php So I am not sure it is a permission issue.

This article, which I've posted before, has a very simple Apache config
that does not only static files, but CGI as well. Sounds like you just
want static, so ignore the CGI part and it's even more simple.

In this case spending a little time to learn to walk before trying to run
will pay off in the end.

If you want I can also put together an article on how to link an HTTP
instance to that config. I do all that by hand too. In fact, I found one
here:
https://www.fieldexit.com/forum/display?threadid=19

Just scan for QATMHINSTC and it should bring you to the thread itself on
how that works.

I am not ignoring what I have been told. But I don’t know how to do or
find much of this stuff. I was thinking that if I went into http://'ip
address’/httpAdmin that I could set something up similar to what I see for
the Zend package. Is that not how you would normally do it, and the scripts
and configs are set up behind the scenes? I am not sure however if I should
be creating a web server, HTTP server, application server from this tool.

You can't do what you are trying to do just with this config David. See

Brad's earlier example. Unless you are explicitly allowing access elsewhere
in the config the default will be to prohibit access to anything _except_
files in /www/zendphp7/htdocs and those would be reached via
http://myserver/myfile.html <http://myserver/myfile.html> or whatever.
Normally Zend sets up on a different port to the standard 80 but since you
haven't shown us the full config file ... the thing we really needed to see
- which is text and could just have been copied/pasted here is the result
of selecting "Display Configuration File" under "Tools" on the LHS.

You are going to need some directory entries - see Brad's example

earlier in the thread.

Suggest copy/paste (just the text) from 5250 and not a print screen.

Also they are asking for the contents of

If you feel you just have to use images, then paste them to imgur.com

and

paste the link to the image here.
If you find httpd.conf too much for an email, or want to monocase it

or

whatever you can pastes it into code.midrange.com and paste that link

Here are two s creen shots - the path from a WRKLNK and what I think

you

are referring to when you talk about the HTTP config. Correct me if I

am

wrong.

David,

What is the actual fully qualified path to the file on the IFS that

you

want to view? That means please specify it with the leading slash,

and

it

should be something you can use EDTF or WRKLNK with that same value

to

view.

Then, show us your HTTP Config. There needs to be a link from one to

the

other. Preferably something that masks the actual path to the file.
