Am new to AIX 5.1 and we have our production database running on it.
I need to activate HTTP service so that i can connect to the database's Enterprise manager from my workstation's web browser. can anyone help me with how to activate HTTP service on AIX 5.1
not sure but
lssrc -a | grep -i httpd
startsrc -s httpd
Thanks, let me see if that works

I ran it the command below and this is what i got
startsrc -s httpd
0513-085 The httpd Subsystem is not on file
what about this
lssrc -a | grep -i httpd
Afaik per default installation, there is no http daemon running on AIX, at least not at port 80 for any publishing services.
My guess is that this DB Enterprise Manager will either have to bring it's own http daemon or you will have to install something like Apache 2 or IBM Httpd. The documentation for this DB Enterprsie Manager will tell something about connecting with a browser, I bet.
I ran the command below and this is what i got
startsrc -s httpd

also when i called up the browser from my workstation, i got this on my browser
503 Service Unavailable

Excuse me - did you read what I wrote?
Thanks, i did and I installed IBM httpd for AIX , and i still got the message i earlier wrote
Ok. The usualy way to start IBM httpd is to use something like /usr/IBMHttpServer/bin/apachectl start , whichever path you installed it to. It is not handled by AIX's SRC (System Resource Controller) by default. At least not those installations I had to deal with. So skip the lssrc, stopsrc and startsrc commands out for that.
Exactly so. You can have it handled by the SRC, though, by using the "mkssys" command. The reading of the man page to "mkssys" is left as an exercise to the reader.
I hope this helps.
