You shouldn't make statements that IBM i isn't fit to be a web server in> a forum where many have had great success with it if you want to eat your> toast and beans in peace.Why Not?? And define success??Or is "success" something like "it works!"...Did you compare AS/400 webserving to the same setting with apache on linux or IIS??Probably not as this is a lot of work.And the TCO of an AS/400 is better , yes , thats very old news.The TCO with a mainframe is even better (if you have that kind of business).But it's comparing apples to oranges.The TCO is better if you compare running SAP running on windows or AS/400, e.g.But thats a completely different thing.The AS/400, e.g., has EBCDIC.This alone is enough to let the webserver run on a different machine, without all the peculiar hassles the as/400 gives you for free.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Why the IBM i *might* not be a good web server
This is a new vein you started, not me. You shouldn't make statements that
IBM i isn't fit to be a web server in a forum where many have had great
success with it if you want to eat your toast and beans in peace.
Currently I am eating my dinner ( beans on toast ). After I've eaten andslept I may come back to you, although I do not see much point?
The point is that I don't think your reasons will be valid, though I usually
learn about the worst parts of IBM i the most from those that dislike
certain aspects of it.
I don't know why I am so full of piss and vinegar today, but backing down at
this point would be assimilation. So yes, please eat and rest so we can
have some good and fruitful discussion on the upsides and downsides of
Apache on IBM i vs. IIS on WindowsServer. I already know that Apache on IBM
i isn't without it's faults, but it is VERY capable of being a great web
server in my experiences. Maybe we just need to share experiences and that
will be enough?

Hi Aaron--
I had hoped we had put this to bed ( or at least agreed to respect each
other's views ). Currently I am eating my dinner ( beans on toast ). After
