RE: Apache configuration

["Porterfield, Sean" <SPorterfield@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

General tips, since you didn't offer a whole lot.  First, this list is for HTTPAPI and FTPAPI; there are other places to discuss Apache if that's where your problem is.

Second, it's very, very rare for an upgrade of HTTPAPI to cause problems.  It's been carefully designed and programmed to avoid that.

Third, enable the debug log and check it for problems or post it for others to view.

It's not clear to me if you're saying the program using HTTPAPI is "hung up" or if it's your web service.  Again, this list is for discussion of the former not the latter.

Hey all

Some time ago I had a quick and dirty little web service hosted on the iSeries.  Ultimately we ended up just consuming web services from other platforms and the need to host was lost.  Well, the need is back so I'm trying to resurrect my old code and everything seems to look fine but it seems to get hung up.  As I said, this one is a very simple proof of concept.  It receives a network ID and turns around and sends an email (SNDDST) to networkID@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:networkID@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.  Back when I was playing with it, it worked fine.  I had written an RPG program with which to consume the web service.  Again, very simple, from a command line CALL MYPROGRAM PARM(networked).

Well, now it gets hung up in the consumer when it goes to do the actual consumption:

rc = http_url_post_xml(
                    'http://sysName:14444/cgibin/vescl'
                        : %addr(SOAP) + 2
                        : %len(SOAP)
                        : *NULL
                        : %paddr(Incoming)
                        : %addr(msgOut)
                        : HTTP_TIMEOUT
                        : HTTP_USERAGENT
                        : 'text/xml'
                        : 'http://sysName:14444/cgibin/vescl');

It's been a while since I did play with it, and I don't discount that I may have been tweaking and playing with the code after hosting got shut down, but something tells me I'm not doing something at the Apache Server level that I need to, or in the mean time something about the server itself has changed.  Any ideas, suggestions, or recommendations are welcome.

I will say we're now at V7R1 on this box, and (sad to say) I've not upgraded HTTP API in quite a while.  I need to do that, but that will become a major deal because of the change management in place.  They are giving me a partition to play in a little, so I will definitely get up to date there and begin the task of changing over.

Thanks a ton!
