I too am in the middle of switching servers and I believe IBM says you have to use the "apachectl -k stop", because more than one instance of the WebServer is started, so the "apachectl -k stop" shuts all of them down.

So, I set up an STC and can start that very well. I did include the LoadModule zos_cmds_module modules/mod_zos_cmds.so directive (well, it was there already in the sample httpd.conf) in order to enable the MODIFY and STOP commands. Now, I find the server to be very erratic in responding to modify and stop commands. It is already an automation challenge to find out to what process one has to send the commands, but that is not what I am complaining about. Indeed, even when I am 100% sure to have addressed the command to the correct process, only halve of the time it actually reacts to it. And even then, it does not always stop. I've seen cases where it responds with: 2017339 13:55:39.45 -P HTTPD1,A=005A 2017339 13:55:40.64 STC12796 BPXM023I (WEBADM) IHS is stopping 2017339 13:55:40.65 STC12796 BPXM023I (WEBADM) CRIHS0002I IHS TMMETEST is stopping. but then just continues to run. In that case, the only way to bring the server down is to use the apachectl -k stop from a Unix shell... Has anyone on the list seen similar behaviour? Were you able to fix it? How? Am I entitled to a PMR? Thanks and very best regards, Jantje. P.S. I tried my friend Google, with various combinations of the words stop, erratic, modify, not stopping, etc. and of course "IBM HTTP Server powerd by Apache". All to no avail. A search in the archives of this esteemed list did not yield an answer to my questions either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
