To configure the Apache Web Server to work with Web Report Server/400:

Prerequisite: Web Report Server/400 version 1.18 or above.
 
Note: If you are using the AS/400 HTTP Server, these settings are not required.
  1. Get to the RJSWRS main menu by typing:

    ADDLIBLE RJSWRS
    GO RJSWRS

  2. Choose 20. Restore HTML Files to /RJSWRS IFS Directory - WRSIFS1
  3. Run the following command to copy the CGI server program to the RJSWRS library:

    CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QTMHCGI) FROMLIB(QHTTPSVR) OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM)

  4. Run the following command to add web server access directives to the Apache Web Server instance:

    Note: This example uses a web server instance named WEBSERVER1.

    WRSAPACH1 WEBSVRNAME(WEBSERVER1)

    Note: You can also use the browser-based Apache configuration screen to manually add web server directives.

    The following lines are added to the AS/400 Apache web server configuration:

    ScriptAliasMatch ^/RJSWRS/(.*) /QSYS.LIB/RJSWRS.LIB/$1.PGM

    AllowOverride None
    SetHandler cgi-script
    Options +ExecCGI
    order allow,deny
    allow from all

  5. Run the following commands to set object authorities on the RJSWRS library and the /RJSWRS IFS folder:

    GRTOBJAUT OBJ(RJSWRS/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*ALL) USER(*PUBLIC) AUT(*USE)
    GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/RJSWRS) OBJTYPE(*ALL) USER(*PUBLIC) AUT(*USE)
    CHGAUT OBJ('/RJSWRS/*') USER(*PUBLIC) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)
       

  6. Run one of the following commands from the RJSWRS library to set the Web Report Server/400 web server setting:

    Note: The AS/400 Apache Web Server returns HTML files in EBCDIC format unless the web server setting is set correctly.

    • To set for Apache Web Server (V5R1 and above), use:

      RJSWRS/WRSWEBSVR WEBSVR(APACHE)

    • To set for the old AS/400 HTTP Server, use:

      RJSWRS/WRSWEBSVR WEBSVR(AS400HTTP)

    • To display the current setting, use:

      DSPDTAARA DTAARA(RJSWRS/WRSWEBSVR)

  7. Stop and re-start the Apache Web Server instance:

    Note: This example uses a web server instance named WEBSERVER1.

    1. Stop the Apache Web Server instance:

      ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(APACHEDFT)

    2. Run:

      WRKACTJOB SBS(QHTTPSVR)                                            

    3. Press F5 to refresh the WRKACTJOB screen until the jobs for the web server instance end completely. 
    4. Re-start the Apache Web Server instance:

      STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(APACHEDFT)                        

  8. Use a web browser to log in to Web Report Server/400, where 1.1.1.1 is your IP address:

    http://1.1.1.1/RJSWRS/WRS200R?ACTION=INIT

    If the web server is on a port other than port 80, use the following URL format, where 1.1.1.1 is your IP address and 1080 is the port:

    http://1.1.1.1:1080/RJSWRS/WRS200R?ACTION=INIT
