Features  -  The WASD package contains a highly VMS-integrated, feature rich and performance competitive HTTP and proxy server, a versatile CGI-based scripting environment, persistent CGIplus, FastCGI, Perl, PHP and other dynamic content environments, along with a collection of VMS-oriented and otherwise useful scripts. Requirements  -  The package can be deployed on VMS V6.n, 7.n and 8.n, Alpha, Itanium (from Q1 2004) and VAX, using any TCP/IP environment supporting the BG: driver.  This includes UCX (3/4.n), OpenVMS TCP/IP Services (v5.n), MultiNet, TCPware. Scripting  -  A comprehensive scripting environment is provided; CGI, ISAPI, OSU-compatible (DECnet), Java, Perl, with persistant scripting supported.  The Scripting Overview describes these.  A significant number of VMS-specific scripts are also provided, including HELP, Bookreader, system performance, and many more example and useful scripts.  Other scripts provided as separate packages are available direct from this CD or via the download page. Documentation  -  The Technical Overview contains detailed information on server installation and setup (remember that if accessing the documentation via file:// or the CD contents are being provided by another Web server some links will not be valid and on-line demonstrations will not necessarily work!) PostScript versions of these documents are available for viewing with VMS CDA Viewer or GhostScript (if installed on your system), or for printing.  Make sure the freeware CD is mounted /SYSTEM then $ PRINT /QUEUE=postscript-queue cd:[HTTPD_WASD.DOC.HTD]HTD.PS $ PRINT /QUEUE=postscript-queue cd:[HTTPD_WASD.DOC.SCRIPTING]SCRIPTING.PS These are large documents, so if you have a printer providing two pages per sheet and/or double-sided it is recommended to submit the job with the appropriate parameters! Installation  -  The Technical Overview includes detail at various levels on how to install the package.  It can either be compiled with DECC 5/6.n, or using the supplied AXP (Alpha) or VAX specific object module archives (built against a base of VMS V6.0, and so should work for VMS V6.n, V7.n), perform a link-only build.  Installation is basically a three-step process. Restore the archive. $ SET DEFAULT device:[000000] $ UNZIP "-V" cd:[HTTPD_WASD]HTROOT853.ZIP (then optionally, architecture-specific object modules) $ UNZIP "-V" cd:[HTTPD_WASD]HTROOT853-axp|vax.ZIP Install the package. $ SET DEFAULT device:[HT_ROOT] $ @INSTALL Customize the package to suit the site's exact requirements.
