According to the WebSphere InfoCenter (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.ihs.doc/info/ihs/ihs/welc6miginstallihsz.html ):
<quote> Note: IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, which is provided with WebSphere Application Server, is different from the Version 5.3 HTTP Server for z/OS, which is provided with the z/OS base operating system and is not powered by Apache. The information contained within the IBM HTTP Server product documentation pertains to IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server, not the Version 5.3 HTTP Server. You can install the IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server product on z/OS systems. Order the Version 6.1 PTF for WebSphere Application Server that contains the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS to get started. </quote> I believe I saw another announcement about how to order this without WAS, but I can't locate it. Go figure. **** More on the Apache-based version in http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101170 <quote> Abstract: For many years IBM has provided an HTTP Server for the z/OS operating system. That HTTP Server was based on an earlier HTTP Server called the Domino Go Webserver, and for that reason it is sometimes referred to informally as DGW. More often it was referred to as the HTTP Server or IHS. Lately that HTTP Server has been delivered as part of the base operating system. It is currently at the V5R3 level. In 2006 IBM released a different HTTP Server for z/OS. This was based on the open source Apache web server, and extended to be z/OS-aware. This web server is known as the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS Powered by Apache. That is presently at Version V6R1. Future functional enhancements will be made to this HTTP Server on z/OS. The purpose of this document is to make you aware of this new IBM HTTP Server for z/OS and help you understand how to acquire it and use it. </quote> *** And, of course, there is the documentation for the DGW-based HTTP server which some of us know and love (or hate) - SC34-4826-09 (for the z/OS V1R9 version). And, as a side note, for you WAS on z/OSers, IBM has publicly (re)released Jinsight (http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/jinsightlive), which, I can say as an ex-IBMer, was an *awesome* tool. It could be used on any platform before, and perhaps this one can too, but they are only advertising it to the z-crowd. Not sure why. Aaron >> o How many HTTP servers does IBM supply for z/OS? >Currently, only one: IBM HTTP Server (IHS). WAS is not a web server, it is a Web Application Server, i.e., a J2EE monster. > >> o Which one(s) are Apache-derived? > >Since there's only one, all of them. :) If you go back and do some Google searches, you'll likely find the various stories of how IBM got involved with open source software to start with. To summarize, they decided it was silly to continue to develop/maintain an IBM web server when Apache was already being used by 60% of the world. The Apache license allows you to take their source, modify it, and turn around and license the package for profit, which is what they've done. They think of it as their mods adding value to the whole package, making it worth people paying for. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
