IBM Web Administration for iSeries
The IBM Web Administration for i5/OS interface combines forms, tools, and wizards to create a simplified environment to set up and manage many different servers and server types on your iSeries server.

Web Publishing with the PUT Method
The standard way of uploading files to a Web server using HTTP is through the use of the PUT method. HTTP Server (powered by Apache) supports the PUT method, but requires additional setup to tell the server how to handle incoming PUT requests. One way to accomplish this is to enable WebDAV, which is provided with HTTP Server (powered by Apache) through the module mod_dav. Another is to provide your own CGI program and configure it for use with HTTP Server (powered by Apache). This article discusses both options, as well as the PUT method in general.

Real time server statistics
Real time server statistics provide information on HTTP Server (powered by Apache) performance. Server statistics can be viewed with the Real Time Server Statistics tool available through the IBM Web Administration for iSeries interface.

How Apache Supports GET, POST and PUT
This article explains what the PUT method is, how it can be used in Apache, and what is required to support publishing with it. It also gives a basic script to handle publishing, and explains why this script should be used very carefully to prevent security problems.
