There is a web-based configuration tool for web servers. You have to 
STRTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR(*ADMIN) first, then put something like

http://ip-addr:2001

in a browser, where ip-addr is the IP address or domain name of your 
iseries.

There is a Redbook about the Apache server that would be good reading.

The link to CGIDEV2 at easy400.net should also be considered. Paul Tuohy 
has some articles on that as well, I just don't have links. I know he 
gave classes at COMMON on it, as well as their own RPG & DB2 Summit.

The whole set of CGI APIs is a bit painful to work with - I'd suggest 
using something like a framework, like CGIDEV2 or Aaron's thing - 
haven't seen his RPGUI but I do trust Aaron to do good work.
