PH Web Problems.

[Deskin, Bob]

I've asked Ottawa Customer Support to get the details of this. The version
you're using is the PowerHouse Web beta. While we have had some reports
similar to yours, we also have a number of customers developing applications
while waiting for the production release. We're still working through a
number of issues to ensure a stable environment. Availability on OpenVMS is
scheduled for September.

What is surprising is that you're having problems on NT. I don't know that
the choice of Web server affects the Dispatcher, but a beta version of
Apache is available on OpenVMS at this stage. And of course Apache is
available on NT. On NT, the main issues are usually configuration of the Web
server and the PH Web environment - ensuring that aliases and locations are
set up correctly. If they're wrong, you get errors when you try and link to
a page, but you don't get Access Violations or GPFs.
