|1Server Account and Environment|
|^ The HTTP server account should be a standard account, preferably in a
group of its own (definitely at least a non-system, non-user group), with
sufficient quotas to handle the expected traffic.
|note|
|0Process Quotas!|
Server process quotas must be sufficient to support the expected traffic load.
BYTLM in particular, and then BIOLM, DIOL, FILLM and PGFLQUO, are all
considerations.
|!note|
|^ Symptoms of insufficient process quotas include:
|bullet#|
|item| Textual pages OK, but pages with a significant number of images having
some or all "broken".
|item| Scripts failing mysteriously, particularly when multiple in use
concurrently.
|item| Server and associated scripts all apparently waiting MWAIT or RWAST
states.
|!bullet|
|^ A general rule is more is better, after all, it will only use as much as
it needs! To assist with setting a reasonable BYTLM quota the WATCH report (see
|link%|../features/##WATCH Facility++of++WASD Features and Facilities||)
provides some feedback on server BYTLM usage.
|note|
|0TCP/IP Agent Resources!|
On an associated topic; some TCP/IP agents require particular internal
resources to be adjusted against given loads (e.g. buffer space allocations).
Symptoms of resource starvation may be TCP/IP services, including WASD,
"pausing" for significant periods or associated processes entering
miscellaneous wait states, etc., during processing. Please ensure such TCP/IP
agents are appropriately dimensioned for expected loads.
|^ Later versions of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS seem to have large default
values for socket send and receive buffers. MultiNet and TCPware are reported
to improve transfer of large responses by increasing low default values for
send buffer size. The WASD global configuration directives [SocketSizeRcvBuf]
and [SocketSizeSndBuf] allow default values to be adjusted. WATCH can be used
to report network connection buffer values.

|2Account Support Files|
|note|
Support procedures often change between versions. It is always advisable to
check the versions documentation before installing or updating.
Examples may be found in |link%|/wasd_root/example/|WASD_ROOT:[EXAMPLE]|
|!note|
|0HTTPd Executables|
|^ Two server executables can be built by the package.
|bullet|
|item| |*HTTPD.EXE |-|| basic server
|item| |*HTTPD_SSL.EXE |-|| TLS/SSL-enabled server
|!bullet|
|0Privileged Image|
|^ As the HTTP$SERVER account should be completely unprivileged, and the
HTTPd image requires ALTPRI, CMKRNL, DETACH, NETMBX, TMPMBX, OPER, PRMGBL,
PRMMBX, PSWAPM, SECURITY, SYSGBL, SYSLCK, SYSNAM, SYSPRV and WORLD
privileges (see the
|link%|/wasd_root/src/httpd/readmore.txt|WASD_ROOT:[SRC.HTTPD]READMORE.TXT||)
document for a description of how and why the server uses these privileges).
|^ It is installed using a command similar to the following:
|code|
$ INSTALL = "$SYS$SYSTEM:INSTALL/COMMAND_MODE"
$ INSTALL ADD WASD_EXE:HTTPD.EXE -
/PRIVILEGE=(ALTPRI,CMKRNL,DETACH,OPER,PRMGBL,PRMMBX,PSWAPM,-
SECURITY,SYSGBL,SYSLCK,SYSNAM,SYSPRV,WORLD)
|!code|
|99DCL Procedure STARTUP.COM|
|0STARTUP.COM|
|^ Putting all this together the HTTP server startup procedure becomes
something similar to the supplied example. It should be called from
SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM or the site's equivalent.
|^ This procedure will support simple and quite complex sites. It works
closely with STARTUP_SERVER.COM (see below). It is designed to accept
parameters from the command-line or as pre-assigned symbols. Operating this way
requires no modifications to the procedure itself. Startup characteristics are
essentially determined by DCL symbol values. Some symbols are booleans,
switching functionality off and on, others require string values. When relevant
startup values are not assigned a reasonable default will be applied. See the
following examples.
|^ Startup characteristics can be determined by supplying symbol assignment
values as command-line parameters when calling the procedure.
|code|
$ @DKA0:[WASD_ROOT.STARTUP]STARTUP WASD_DECNET=1 WASD_SSL=1 -
WASD_SSL_CERTIFICATE="WASD_ROOT:[LOCAL]ALPHA.PEM"
|!code|
|^ Startup characteristics can also be determined by assigning the symbol
values before calling the procedure itself.
|code|
$ WASD_DECNET = 1
$ WASD_SSL = 1
$ WASD_SSL_CERTIFICATE = "WASD_ROOT:[LOCAL]ALPHA.PEM"
$ @DKA0:[WASD_ROOT.STARTUP]STARTUP
|!code|
|code|
$ @DKA0:[WASD_ROOT.STARTUP]STARTUP WASD_DECNET=1 WASD_BATCH_QUEUE=THIS$BATCH
|!code|
|^ Check the procedure itself for detail on symbol names and functionality.
See |link%|/wasd_root/example/startup.com|WASD_ROOT:[EXAMPLE]STARTUP.COM|
|99DCL Procedure STARTUP_LOCAL.COM|
|0STARTUP_LOCAL.COM|
|^ This file is automatically executed by the STARTUP.COM procedure
immediately before the server is actually started. It is provided to supply
all the local site's additional startup requirements. For example, a
STARTUP.COM defined logical name could be modified here before the server
proper is actually started. See
|link%|/wasd_root/example/startup_local.com|\
WASD_ROOT:[EXAMPLE]STARTUP_LOCAL.COM|
|99DCL Procedure STARTUP_SERVER.COM|
|0STARTUP_SERVER.COM|
|^ This procedure serves two purposes.
|number|
|item|The procedure becomes SYS$COMMAND for a detached process created directly
during the execution of STARTUP.COM.
|item| The procedure then controls the activation of the HTTPd executable image
during server restarts and exits.
|!number|
|link%|/wasd_root/example/startup_server.com|\
WASD_ROOT:[EXAMPLE]STARTUP_SERVER.COM|
|^ It is recommended to pass server startup command-line parameters using the
WASD_SERVER_STARTUP logical name that this procedure checks for and uses if
present. If this is defined the contents are applied to the server image when
executed. It can be explicitly defined before WASD startup.
|code|
$ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXECUTIVE WASD_STARTUP_SERVER "/SYSUAF=ID"
$ @DKA0:[WASD_ROOT.STARTUP]STARTUP
|!code|
|^ The value can also be passed to the main startup procedure in a symbol.
The startup procedure then defines a system logical name with that value (note
that any quotes used must be escaped).
|code|
$ WASD_DECNET = 1
$ WASD_SSL = 1
$ WASD_SSL_CERTIFICATE = "WASD_ROOT:[LOCAL]ALPHA.PEM"
$ WASD_STARTUP = "/SYSUAF=ID"
$ @DKA0:[WASD_ROOT.STARTUP]STARTUP
|!code|
|^ It can also be manually redefined at any time and the server restarted to
apply different startup parameters to the running server.
|code|
$ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXECUTIVE WASD_STARTUP_SERVER "/SYSUAF=(SSL,ID)"
$ HTTPD /DO=RESTART=NOW
|!code|
|2Global Pages/Sections|
|^ Various accounting, cache and other shared data used by the server is
provided by shared global memory. These requires one permananet global
section (SYSGEN parameter GBLSECTIONS) and a number of permanent global pages
(SYSGEN parameter GBLPAGES) per item. The number of items varies depending on
configuration.
|0Global Sections|

|^ If there are insufficient global sections or pages the server will fail to
start for all requirements except the activity statistics, this will just be
disabled. Server process log startup messages advise on current usage.
|^ As permanent, system-accessible global sections are deployed it may be
necessary to explicitly delete them after ad hoc server experimentation, etc.
(|link|Server Startup||). The startup qualifier /GBLSEC=NOPERM disables the
creation of permanent global sections eliminating this requirement.
|2Logical Names|
|^ WASD uses an independent logical name table (see |link|WASD Name Table|
below). Versions prior to 10 used the SYSTEM table and a substantially
different naming schema.
|^ The following logical names are used in the operation of the package. These
are usually created by STARTUP.COM during server startup.
|^

|note|
|0Pre-v10 Logical Names|
The pre-v10.0.0 logical names (e.g. HTTPD$MAP) are deprecated and will be
obsoleted in a future version. The server process log issues warnings such as
|=%HTTPD-W-DEPRECATED, change HTTPD$MAP to WASD_CONFIG_MAP (soon!)| for any it
finds during startup.
|!note|
|3WASD Name Table|
|^ In an effort to localise WASD-related logical names and avoid polluting the
SYSTEM logical name table WASD version 10 creates it's own world-readable,
system-writable name table, and adds it to LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY.
|code|
$ SHOW LOGICAL WASD_TABLE/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY
"WASD_TABLE" [table] = "" (LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY)
|!code|
|^ WASD logical names are then defined in that table leaving the SYSTEM table
with just a few essential names.

|!code|
|^ As can be seen the number of LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE names is small, five in this
example (though it can vary). Logical name WASD_FILE_DEV locates a procedure
to insert the WASD_TABLE into a process' LNM$FILE_DEV to make the table names
available. Until that is done they are not visible without an explicit
/TABLE=WASD_TABLE. The server automatically uses the procedure for itself and
scripting processes. Site admins can simply
|code|
$ @WASD_FILE_DEV
|!code|
at the command-line or in their LOGIN.COM to have it done for their
interactive session(s). This procedure location is variable within the
file-system and needs to be located and accessed without initially knowing that
location.
|^ The WASD_ROOT logical provides a convenient, global logical location for
the primary (default) WASD environment. HT_ROOT is used to provide pre-v10
backward-compatibility with existing sites. (If yours does not need the name
you can deassign it during server startup.)
|^ The WASD_DECNET_CGI_OBJECT and WASD_DECNET_OSU_OBJECT names provide global
locations for the two DECnet scripting environments. These logicals are
defined when a site uses the [STARTUP]STARTUP_DECNET.COM procedure. It is
necessary to provide a global location for these with multiple WASD
environments because DECnet objects are global entities. The one object must
provide an infrastructure for potentially multiple WASD environments.
|^ Other SYSTEM logical names, WASD_TABLE+|/n| name tables, and
WASD_FILE_DEV|/n| logical names are used for non-primary WASD
environments (see
|link%|../features/##Instances and Environments++of++WASD Features and Facilities||).
|2Server Startup|
|^ When starting up the server several characteristics of the server may be
specified using qualifiers on the command line. If not specified appropriate
defaults are employed. For recommended methods of passing parameters to the
executable at server startup see |link|STARTUP_SERVER.COM||.
For clarity some esoteric and legacy qualifiers and parameters are not listed in
this table.
|0Server Image Command-Line Parameters|
|table|
|~_ |: Parameter/Qualifier|: Description
|~
|~#* |. /ALL[=integer] |. Has two roles. When starting a server up assigns that
server to a specific, non-default WASD environment (see /ENVIRONMENT) When
using the server control /DO= using /ALL specifies to do the action to all
servers in that particular environment.
|~ |. /AUTHORIZATION=.. |. Control authentication and authorisation
behaviour.
|^- See
|link%|../features/##Authentication Policy++of++WASD Features and Facilities||.
|~ |. /CGI_PREFIX= |. The prefix to the CGI symbol names created
for a script (defaults to "WWW_").
|^- See |link%|../scripting/##|WASD Web Services - Scripting||
|~ |. /CLUSTER |. Apply control /DO= to all instances in a cluster (default
is to current node instance(s) only).
|~ |. /DETACH= |. This qualifier allows a DCL procedure to be specified as
input to a directly detached process (in conjunction with /USER).
|~ |. /DO= |. Command to be performed by the executing server.
|~ |. /ENVIRONMENT= |. Integer indicating in which environment this server
is executing
|~ |. /GBLSEC=DELETE |. Allows a monitor-associated
permanent global section to be explicitly deleted. When a server starts it
creates system-accessible, permanent global sections in which to store
accounting and request data. As this is permanent it would be possible for a
site, perhaps experimenting with servers over a range of ports, to consume
significant amounts of global pages and sections. This qualifier allows such
sections to be deleted.
|~ |. /GBLSEC=NOPERM |. Disables the creation of permanent global
sections. They are automatically deleted when the server image exits.
|~ |. /[NO]LOG[=name] |. Either disables logging (overrides configuration
directive), or enables logging and optionally specifies the log file name
(also see section |link|Logical Names||, logging is disabled by default). If
the file specification is "SYS$OUTPUT" the server issues log
entries to <stdout>, allowing user-defined log formats to be easily checked and
refined.
|~ |. /NETWORK |. Run the server and any scripting processes as
NETWORK mode rather than the default detached OTHER mode.
|~ |. /NOTE=string |. Annotate the server process log with the specified
string. Intended to assist auditing server events such as restarts, maaping
reloads and the like.
|~ |. /OUTPUT=filename |. Server image <stdout> is redirected to the specified
file name. Useful when employing the /SYSPLUS report generator.
|~ |. /PERSONA[=..] |.
Enables and controls detached process scripting.
|^- See
|link%|../scripting/##Introduction++of++WASD Scripting Environment||.
|~ |. /PRIORITY= |. Server process priority (default is 4).
|~ |. /[NO]PROFILE |. Allows SYSUAF-authenticated username
security profiles to be used for file access.
|~ |. /PROMISCUOUS[=password] |. Server will accept any
authentication username/password pair (used for testing, demonstrations, etc.)
|~ |. /PROXY=string |. Allows proxy maintainance activities to be
executed from the command line (e.g. from batch jobs, etc.).
|~ |. /SCRIPT=AS=username |. Specifies the username of the
default scripting account.
|~ |. /SERVICE= |. Comma-separated, list of server services
(overrides the [Service] configuration parameter).
|~ |. /SOFTWARE= |. An arbitrary string that can be used to override the
server software identification (i.e. "HTTPd-WASD/10.4.0 OpenVMS/AXP
SSL").
|~ |. /[NO]SSL[=..] |. Controls Secure Sockets Layer protocol behaviour.
|^- See
|link%|../features/##Transport Layer Security++of++WASD Features and Facilities||.
|~ |. /SYSPLUS |. Displays CLI equivalent System Report PLUS data. Available
for circumstances where the server is unresponsive but an interactive session
is available. Requires a 132 character width terminal session.
|^- See
|link%|../features/##System Report PLUS++of++WASD Features and Facilities||.
|~ |. /[NO]SYSUAF[=..] |. Controls VMS (SYSUAF) authentication/authorisation
behaviour.
|^- See
|link%|../features/##SYSUAF-Authenticated Users++of++WASD Features and Facilities||.
|~ |. /USER=username |. For VMS 6.2 and later this qualifier
allows the /DETACH qualifier to directly create a detached process executing as
the specified username.
|~ |. /VALBLK[=16\|64] |. For server to (try) to use either pre-VMS V8.2 16
byte lock value block or the VMS V8.2 and later 64 byte lock value block.
|~ |. /VERSION |. Displays the executable's version string and the copyright
notice.
|~ |. /[NO]WATCH[=..] |. Controls the use of the WATCH reporting facility.
|^- See
|link%|../features/##WATCH Facility++of++WASD Features and Facilities||.
