QTMHHTTP profile problems

[Richard Evans]

In configuring our AS400 web server I've set up using to the redbook as
a guide (and have even been desperate enough to look at a standard IBM
manual). Other TCP utilities work fine, and QTMHHTTP has all the
authority needed and is in the system directory. All of the mapping
rules are set up properly. Yet when I try to access a document the web
browser returns a "Document contains no data" message.

When I began the configuration I had to create the QTMHHTTP profile
because it did not already exist (perhaps it was once deleted as a
security precaution), and I am wondering if there is something wrong
with the way I have the newly created profile set up. When I try
access the web server a job log is created, and it always gets an error
at the same point . If anyone knows how I might correct this, please
e-mail or follow-up.

Error message: CPF22E7 - Message . . . . : ProfileHandle is not valid.

Thanks,

Hi Richard,

Rule number one... NEVER delete a Q-object yourself. The result of doing
so can be unpredictable as you noticed. The CPF-id you're referring to is
related to changing the current user for a job, and is indeed related to
the QTMHHTTP profile. Maybe you can verify your definition with the
details listed below, and if that doesn't help, you can maybe try to delete
57xxTC1 and re-install it (I don't know however if this step will also
create the related userprofiles).

Check Paul's response and set up the profile exactly as he stated. If
it still doesn't work, check a few things.

When you start your HTTP server, do you have any QTMHHTTP jobs
running? If not, check the HTTP attributes with the CHGHTTPA command.
I don't think you can specify less than one for the minimum jobs.

I would also make sure that other Q profiles such as QTCP haven't been
deleted.

Finally, check out the "Determining Problems With you HTTP Sever"
section of the TCPIP Configuration and Reference book.

Richard --

Are you by chance trying to run a CGI? You may need to also check that
the QTMHTP1 profile exists.
