Course illuminates the properties and capabilities of the server available on every IBM i system.

Manta Technologies Inc. announces the availability of a new course, Configuring the HTTP Server. This course is for the system administrator or webmaster who is responsible for configuring the IBM HTTP Server for i (powered by Apache). This server is available on every IBM i system and can be used to deliver both static and dynamic content to Internet users within your own organization or around the world.

The course begins with an introduction to HTTP. You will see the data flow in both static web requests (which retrieve existing objects) and dynamic requests (in which the resulting response is created by a server-side program). The Apache server and its relationship to the IBM HTTP Server for i is also discussed.

The course then shows you how to access the graphical control panel for the HTTP server and how to use it to create a new server instance. You will learn how to start the server and check your work. You will also see how to specify the location of your web documents and control access to them.

These are commands for the server that can be enbedded within HTML documents to perform such actions as including the current date or the contents of a specified HTML document. Then you will see how to configure a CGI program and control its use.

The course ends with a tour of other functions that are available from the HTTP server control panel. In particular, you will see how the wizards and forms of the control panel are used to create Apache server directives. You will see how to display and edit these directives directly and where you can find additional information about the options available.

Prices for the course start at $120 for a one-year, single-user MantaNow license.

This course is available automatically to MantaNow customers who have purchased the entire System i Training Library or any of the following Combination Packs.

  • Web Development Combination Pack
  • System Administration Combination Pack
  • System Administration and Operations Super Combination Pack 

    • For more information, contact Manta at (800) 40-MANTA  (800-406-2682).  International customers can call (303) 862-4562.  Or, visit the Manta web site (www.mantatech.com) to begin training.

    Manta is the premier company in the IBM i training and education business. This year, Manta celebrates its 17th year in business. During that time, it has trained tens of thousands of IBM i students in over 5,000 organizations around the world. It's customer list includes organizations of all sizes, from major companies (including IBM) down to one-person consulting organizations. If you need IBM i training, Manta is the first vendor most often recommended. Because you want quality training for less. Manta's consistently low price has always been a major attraction. For example, a typical company can train its entire IT organization for less than the price of sending a couple of operators to a class. (See "Total Cost Comparision" for a detailed analysis.)

    • SB HelpSystems ROBOT GenericIT security is a top priority for businesses around the world, but most IBM i pros don’t know where to begin—and most cybersecurity experts don’t know IBM i.

    • SB HelpSystems ROBOT GenericCan you trust all of your users all of the time? A typical end user receives 16 malicious emails each month, but only 17 percent of these phishing campaigns are reported to IT. Once an attack is underway, most organizations won’t discover the breach until six months later. A staggering amount of damage can occur in that time. Despite these risks, 93 percent of organizations are leaving their IBM i systems vulnerable to cybercrime. In this on-demand webinar, IBM i security experts Robin Tatam and Sandi Moore will reveal:
