WASD VMS Hypertext Services

Time to take a look at the "non-stop webserver", aka WASD VMS Hypertext Services.

To install this webserver, we're going to need the compiler suited we've previously installed (C and CXX-V products).

To install WASD, you need to download and unpack 2 images: HTROOT921.ZIP, the platform independent pack, and HTROOT921-AXP.ZIP (or VAX or IA64) - the platform specific files.

The installation process will largely go like this:

$ SET DEFAULT DKA0:[000000]
$ UNZIP "-V" SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR.wasdkit]HTROOT921.ZIP;1
$ UNZIP "-V" SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR.wasdkit]htroot921-axp.zip;1
$ @dka0:[HT_ROOT]INSTALL
$ @HT_ROOT:[INSTALL]DEMO.COM

%HTTPD-I-SOFTWAREID, HTTPd-WASD/9.2.1 OpenVMS/AXP SSL


The INSTALL procedure will take a while to compile then link the package. If you do not have the OpenVMS SSL product (Compaq/HP) you'll require the OpenSSL toolkit.
