Yes they are two different things.

Thing 1: I have an SQLRPGLE service program that provides json data
to an application server that I set up using IWS.  If I type the url
for that web service into most any browser I get a screen like this:

dayOut "2019-03-06 is a Wednesday"
httpStatus 0
httpHeaders
0 "Valid day-name was found."

That is Thing 1 and works just fine.  Very happy with it.

Thing 2: Now we need to consume the data.  Just telling the web
people "Here's the data!" works but puts everything out of our
control.  So I want a web server, on the i, serving up that data in
the way I want it served up.  That's where my latest round of
troubles start.   Can I put the web page on the same server as
provides the web services?  I have no idea, i don't even want to
know.  I can consume that data off my PC's browser with no problem
but from a server at the same root url?  Things go all wobbly, which
I suspect is a reflection upon my ignorance of the processes involved.

Booth,

Are you confusing Web Services (APIs) with Web Pages?  These are two completely different things. I don't understand what home pages have to do with web services. If you have some reason why they'll need to work together in your scenario, please explain it.
