Can anyone show me how to set up an HTTP Server instance on our V5R4 i5/OS box?
I need to work with WSDC to develop web based inquiry apps.

SHalomC,
I'm not sure honestly. I'm fairly new at this. Could you recommend a path to use that's effective?
I'm an ILE-RPG (primarily) AS/400 programmer trying to begin using the 'web' side of the iSeries-AS/400
world. I have WDSC (Rational) V6.01 and wanted to get as much information about the interaction involved between the iSeries and the web to know where to begin.
Thanks, Phil

1st question: A little. I designed my own web page using Frontpage a while back and loaded it up to my web site. It was ok I guess, nothing fancy.
2nd question: 20 years worth of design and development using AS/400 CL,DDS,ILE-RPG, SQL-ILE,FTP.

To be most productive in the shortest time, I suggest that first you learn some php, and experiment with it on a PC, just to get the hang of programming in a web environment. I speak of php because it has the gentlest learning curve, and it is easy to obtain both good learning materials and good advice.
Java is a viable solution, but it requires a much greater investment from you.
Personally, I find the RPG-CGI techniques almost unreadable compared to other solutions and non-transportable to other platforms, but hey, it's my humble opinion.

Hi Pipster,
With a lot of experience on RPG etc. you really heve to try to develope stuf with RPG (or E-RPG) it is sooo fast and have 3 big pluspoints 1. it's native, 2. it's native, 3. it's native :)
But a lot of stuff you have to do in HTML and JavaScript....
On this moment I use the AJAX methode to develope the javascript, the real advantage of this is that you can update parts of the page and RPG needs only to generate the datapart (tables etc.)
It is really quick.!!!!!
