I recently installed python and webware on an Alpha Open VMS system. I created my working directory separate from the webware directory. What is confusing me is that I created the my working directory and I cannot get to it, using the browser. I can get to the webware stuff using the browser. I have searched online and no luck. Where can I find more information on how to use webware on VMS? I would like to know more on how the working directory works because in my mind I have two working directories on my machine and I don't know if that is correct. When you create a new working directory does it assign a new port or do I somehow navigate to the directory through the first working directory created at install? Sorry for the many questions, as you can see I am a little confused. Thank you for your input. I appreciate it. -Olivia |

You must start the application server inside your working directory in order to use it. Then it will pick up your configuration inside the working directory where you can set up the port and your contexts. The documentation is included in Webware, and available online: http://www.webwareforpython.org/WebKit/Docs/ You can try out the Beginner Tutorial for a simple application. -- Christoph |

I did try starting it but I get unrecognized command verb error. I think I have something wrong here. Where it states the command to start the AppServer, it gives me '/directory/to/working/directory/AppServer' in VMS, it should like this; 'somedisk:[directory.to.working.directory]AppServer'. I am guessing that I created the working directory wrong because when I look at the DownloadAndInstallationWebware instructions from the following place; http://www.vmspython.org/DownloadAndInstallationWebware?action=show , it states to use the following command; python /webware_root/vms/CgiPlusMakeAppWorkDir.py myapp . I did not use CgiPlusMakeAppWorkDir.py, I used the one in the Beginner Tutorial which is MakeAppWorkDir.py. Was I suppose to use the CgiPlusMakeAppWorkDir.py file instead because I am using Webware on VMS? thx -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Zwerschke [mailto:ci...@on...] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 12:44 PM To: Discussion of Webware for Python including feedback and proposals.

Right, I forgot that VMS is somewhat different from Unix. In WebKit/Adapters/CGIPlus you find the CgiPlusMakeAppWorkDir.py script and a README file that points to some websites with special instructions for using Webware for Python under VMS, but it seems you found that already. You should probably follow the instructions given there. The standard documentation has been written mainly for Unix/Win/Mac. -- Christoph |

How do I get rid of the working directory I tried to get running? -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Zwerschke [mailto:ci...@on...] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 2:28 PM To: Discussion of Webware for Python including feedback and proposals.

You can create and delete them as you like (outside the Webware installation directory which you should always leave intact). -- Christoph |

One more question. Is the CGImakeappworkdir.py for Apache as well? Because the readme file explains it is for running Webware on VMS in a WASD CGIPlus environment. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Zwerschke [mailto:ci...@on...] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 11:40 PM To: Discussion of Webware for Python including feedback and proposals.

The whole CGIPlus directory makes probably only sense with WASD. For Apache you should use the standard MakeAppWorkDir.py, but you will have to figure out which adapters are usable under VMS or whether you will need some modifications. Unfortunately, I cannot help you here since I have no experience with VMS. -- Christoph |
