RE: Apache configuration

["Selders, Vince E" <VESelders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info.  I probably will drop this like a hot potato.  I don't have the authorities I need, the intelligence to ask questions, or the patience (anymore)

My admins want me to sit with them to explain what to set up, etc. However,  without having the authorities (*IOSYSCFG) I have no idea what screens are going to pop up.  So each step will be painful , resulting in me walking back across the street to my cubicle, research what is needed next, and so on and so forth.  I guess some shops just aren't coder-friendly, and this is one.

v-out

I'm not certain whether you understand this already, so I'll say it just 
to make sure we're on the same page:  HTTPAPI cannot be used to provide 
a web service.

HTTPAPI is a client-side tool. It can be used to _call_ a web service 
that's provided by another tool (such as Apache, IWS, Tomcat, WebSphere, 
IIS, etc)

If you use a traditional web site as an analogy, HTTPAPI takes the role 
of the "web browser".  Apache takes the role of the "web server."

That said, you'd never set up a web service (or web site) without 
testing it.  So you might use HTTPAPI for calling/testing your web 
service (I know that I do!)

Apache configuration files normally live in:
    /www/your-instance-name/conf/httpd.conf

however, the proper way to edit them is with the IBM HTTP *ADMIN tool. 
You aren't supposed to change these files by hand.
