[Info-vax] WASD Configuration Issue - Cannot access WEB directory

Wed Oct 28 16:55:39 EDT 2009

I've tried to get WASD working but am kind of tearing my hair out now
getting it to serve up anything but the default pages in HT_ROOT.

Can anyone help please? I followed the instructions in the Nonstop
book
as far as I can tell but I just can't seem to get anything to work
other
 than the default configuration.

I'd like to serve up pages from a different root, say $WEB: (which is
as
described in the Nonstop book) which is configured like this:

$ DEFINE HT_ROOT /SYSTEM/EXEC/TRANSLATION=CONCEALED DSA0:
[WASD.HT_ROOT.]
$ DEFINE $WEB /SYSTEM/EXEC/TRANSLATION=CONCEALED DSA0:[WEB.]
$ DEFINE $WEB_ROOT /SYSTEM/EXEC $WEB:[ROOT]

$  show log $web_root
   "$WEB_ROOT" = "$WEB:[ROOT]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
$ show log $web
   "$WEB" = "DSA0:[WEB.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
$ dir $web_root

Directory $WEB:[ROOT]

INDEX.HTML;1

Total of 1 file.
$ type $web_root:index.html
<HTML>
<BODY>
THIS IS THE ONE
</BODY>
</HTML>

Then I edited the HT_ROOT:[LOCAL]HTTPD$MAP.CONF file so that it ends:

# just for the demonstration file!
#pass /* /ht_root/*
pass /* /$Web_root/*

Then restart the server:

@ht_root:[startup]shutdown
@ht_root:[startup]startup

And attempt to access the root of the webserver:

http://orac/

And I get:

ERROR 403  -  The requested action is not permitted.

Additional information:  1xx,  2xx,  3xx,  4xx,  5xx,  Help

________________________________________________________________________
WASD/9.3.0 Server at orac.appsoftint.co.uk Port 80

I've tried all sorts of combinations, checked the permissions of the
files in the directory being server but I just keep drawing a complete
blank.

Please help!
