Installing BlueZone Web-to-Host on an iSeries (AS/400) HTTP Web Server

Introduction

This procedure is written under the assumption that the HTTP services are already configured and running on the AS/400. This procedure only covers the initial installation and configuration of BlueZone Web-to-Host on the AS/400 HTTP Web Server. It does not cover the configuration of BlueZone Web-to-Host. Please refer to the BlueZone Web-to-Host QuickStart Guide for help with configuring BlueZone Web-to-Host.

Procedure

1. Create a folder on the root of the AS/400 (example: bluezone).
2. Launch the BlueZone CD-ROM, and using Windows Explorer, view it’s contents, specifically the BlueZone Web-to-Host folder.
3. Copy or FTP the contents of the Web-to-Host folder to this newly created folder on the AS/400.
   NOTE Do not use Shared Folders as not all the BlueZone files on the CD conform to the 8.3 naming convention.
4. While logged on with QSECOFR authority, you will need to update the HTTP configuration file. On the command line execute: WRKHTTPCFG
5. At the bottom (end) of the existing entries, add a line.
6. Now add the value: pass /bluezone/* /bluezone/* as shown in the following “screen shot”.
   NOTE This command equates to when the URL containing bluezone is encountered, send it to the folder bluezone and execute the default page.

7. Refresh the server to recognize the updated configuration file. On the command line execute: STRTCPSVR

Now, when you type in the URL of the AS/400 HTTP web server, the default BlueZone Web-to-Host page should launch.
