As Mark mentioned, both the free HTTP server and the ported Apache HTTP server are available (you have to order the Apache server, but it's free). The details on installation for the free server are found in "z/OS HTTP Server Planning, Installing, and Using" (SC34-4826-09 or file name imwziu18.pdf on the IBM manuals site). We set up a directory structure so we can run multiple servers from a single spot, so we have /web/Apache - for the IBM orderable Apache server /web/httpd1 - for the free included HTTP server /web/zAapache - for my ported version of the Apache server You might find our little paper "Hosting a Web Site on z/OS - one person's experience" helpful in some of the later stage configuration and testing. Find it here: http://www.trainersfriend.com/Papers/Hosting_web_on_zos.pdf (free, no registration or other information required from you) If you find you get this up and running and would like some training in how to use this, we, of course, would recommend some of our courses: <ad> Here's a quick summary of the courses we have available for applications developers learning to work in the z/OS UNIX world: U-510 Introduction to z/OS UNIX - 3 Days * Basic concepts and vocabulary * Over 60 shell commands * Creating and working with directories and files * Using the free HTTP server to serve web pages from z/OS details at: http://www.trainersfriend.com/UNIX_and_Web_courses/u510descr.htm U-515 Shell Script Programming in z/OS UNIX - 3 days * Additional 60+ shell commands * Regular Expressions * Shell editors: ed and sed; optional: vi (one lab uses sed and scripts to convert a flat file into an HTML file) * Creating and running scripts * Running z/OS UNIX commands, scripts, and programs in batch details at: http://www.trainersfriend.com/UNIX_and_Web_courses/u515descr.htm U-518 You and z/OS and the World Wide Web - 5 days * HTML and XHTML * CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) * ECMAScript (JavaScript) * DOM (Document Object Model) * Cookies * A peak at X/HTML 5 - all from the perspective of the z/OS developer details at: http://www.trainersfriend.com/UNIX_and_Web_courses/u518descr.htm U-520 Developing Applications for z/OS UNIX - 3 days * Writing programs to run under the shell (Assembler, COBOL, PL/I, C: each student takes their pick) * Assembling / compiling / binding using shell commands * Callable services (BPX1...) * Make and makefiles details at: http://www.trainersfriend.com/UNIX_and_Web_courses/u520descr.htm There is also a series of courses for writing CGIs to run under z/OS UNIX. </ad> -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com * To get a good Return on your Investment, first make an investment! + Training your people is an excellent investment * Try our new tool for calculating your Return On Investment for training dollars at http://www.trainersfriend.com/ROI/roi.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ========================== This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
