I'm working on installing HTTP server IMWEBSRV on a system with a read only

root. Has anyone dealt with this somehow?
thanks

Yes.
I found instead of running the setup script, I could get
by by just copying some files to a directory that is R/W.
In particular, I set up /web in my zFS and then issued these commands:
su <- note: you do have to be superuser
cp /usr/lpp/internet/samples/config/C/h* /web
cp /usr/lpp/internet/samples/config/C/i* /web
cp /usr/lpp/internet/samples/config/C/j* /web
cp /usr/lpp/internet/samples/config/C/l* /web
cd /web
mkdir logs
mkdir reports
mkdir pub
cp /usr/lpp/internet/server_root/pub/C/*.html /web/pub
chmod 766 *
exit
exit
Next you want to edit the configuration file, maybe:
cd /web
oedit httpd.conf
then issue these commands:
f Port 1 (if you changed the port number in
the TCPIP parms, match it here)
f PidFile 1 (this value should be /web/httpd-pid)
f AccessLog 1 (this value should be /web/logs/httpd-log)
f ErrorLog 1 (this value should be /web/logs/httpd-errors)
f CgiErrorLog 1 (this value should be /web/logs/cgi-error)
f AccessReportRoot 1 (value should be /web/reports)
f sslmode 1 (ensure value is off)
f pass last 1 (for Pass /* the value should be /web/pub/*)
end (save and exit)
Then your HTTPD proc to start the server should look something like this:
//HTTPD PROC P1='-B',
// P2='-r /web/httpd.conf',
// P3='ENVAR("_CEE_ENVFILE=/web/httpd.envvars")/ -vv'
//WEBSRV1 EXEC PGM=IMWHTTPD,REGION=0K,TIME=NOLIMIT,
// PARM=('&P3 &P2 &P1')
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//OUTDSC OUTPUT DEST=HOLD
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*,OUTPUT=(*.OUTDSC)
//SYSERR DD SYSOUT=*,OUTPUT=(*.OUTDSC)
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*,OUTPUT=(*.OUTDSC)
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*,OUTPUT=(*.OUTDSC)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*,OUTPUT=(*.OUTDSC)
//CEEDUMP DD SYSOUT=*,OUTPUT=(*.OUTDSC)
============================
There's more, but this is the essence.
All this and more is included in my paper "Setting
Up the IBM HTTP Server" that used to be available
for free on our website. But now, I have set up
"The Collected Papers of Steve Comstock" for sale as
a package that includes over 20 papers and, for some
papers, supporting files so you can test / experiment
for yourself.
