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

Thu Oct 29 15:55:00 EDT 2009

Hello,

the previous couple of comments regarding the definition of logical 
names used by WASD for file-system access are correct; they need to be 
concealed, rooted logical names

   http://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_2319.html

i.e. you need to be able to

   $ DIRECTORY THE_LOGICAL_NAME:[000000]

and list the files and also to access any subdirectories using the name 
because that's exactly what WASD expects to be able to do.

   http://wasd.vsm.com.au/ht_root/doc/htd/htd_1400.html#03848723

The other thing, and thanks for getting into WATCH

   http://wasd.vsm.com.au/ht_root/doc/htd/htd_2000.html

it is an invaluable tool, is the rule used is not MAP ...

This should work if your URI begins /$web_root/

> 039 /  Y-  MAP       /*  /$web_root/*

You need a PASS rule for this 'catch-all' mapping here.

A MAP rule changes the string from its original to the new string and 
then continues on with the mapping.  A PASS rule says 'this is the VMS 
file-system equivalent' (or in this case that is what the rule is 
saying) use this now.  So the string /$web_root/* is translated into 
$WEB_ROOT:[000000] for use by the file-system accessing modules of WASD.

And of course if it falls of the bottom of the rule list (runs out of 
rules before a matching PASS is encountered) it defaults to no access.

Again - thanks for getting WATCH into the troubleshooting!!
