   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
