Re: Domino vs. Apache Web Server and Encoding Issue from CGI Program

There is a Redbook Migration Guide.
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4987.html?Open
Printed page 95 - 97 covers mainframe storing IBM-1047 EBCDIC or
ASCII-8. You probably need to change the parameters.

One other thing to be sure of is that the output of your cgi needs to specify 
the content type header:

Content-type: text/html (or text/plain, etc.)

Output text

Make sure you leave a blank line between the header and the content.

Re: Domino vs. Apache Web Server and Encoding Issue from CGI Program

[Grinsell, Don]

There are several things you can check in your httpd.conf file:

The TypesConfig directive and DefaultType:

TypesConfig conf/mime.types
DefaultType text/plain

This tells Apache to convert from IBM-1047 to ISO8859-1:

# mod_charset_lite is used to translate request and response 
# data from one character set to another (e.g., from EBCDIC  
# to ASCII or vice versa).   
LoadModule charset_lite_module modules/mod_charset_lite.so   
 
CharsetSourceEnc IBM-1047
CharsetDefault   ISO8859-1   
  

Hope that's helpful.

Re: Domino vs. Apache Web Server and Encoding Issue from CGI Program

[Nims,Alva John (Al)]

Apache has been available for z/OS for some time, with going to z/OS 2.02 
Domino was dropped.

Search RedBooks for "IBM HTTP Server on z/OS Migrating from Domino-powered to 
Apache-powered"  the PDF file name is "redp4987.pdf"

That is about all I can give you, I did not know anything about Web servers 
Domino or Apache, but found myself thrown into the middle of attempting to do 
the migration.  I can't give you a success story right now, I have not 
completed the process of going to z/OS 2.02 also.

Hi group,

Did something change from z/OS 2.1 to 2.2 specifically that would mean that the 
Domino web server changed to the Apache web server?  Has anyone experienced 
this with their upgrade?

More specifically to my problem,  has anyone experience with going from Domino 
to Apache, and encountered issues with the encoding used by cgi applications 
and had to fix them?  I don’t mean something like 1143 vs. 1047 encoding, but 
ebcdic vs. asciii.  What once returned from a call, for example, “Hello world”, 
now looks something like “çè(<žŽ çá àžŽ”. ☺

I’ve no idea which end to look at first on this, at the app or at the server 
configuration, which is why I ask.  Also, I don’t know how big a change Domino 
is to Apache is, if it was meant to be a plug-and-play replacement or not.

Many thanks for any help or advice.

Kind regards,
Lindy Mayfield

Yes z/OS 2.2 now includes Apache in place of Domino.
