# Installation on VSE

Software AG recommends that you keep unmodified copies of all materials distributed or created as part of the installation process. This may assist with problem diagnosis later by providing an untouched sample of any given item.

Note
Additional installation steps for Natural CGI are documented in section Installing Natural CGI.

This document covers the following topics:

- The Installation Tape

- Step-by-Step Installation

- Installation Verification

- Troubleshooting

## The Installation Tape

### Tape Contents

The following table lists the product datasets, what the dataset contains, and how it is created. While you are free to rename the datasets, the dataset names used in the table are used consistently throughout the product documentation to ensure clarity.

Dataset | Contains ...
--- | ---
SAGLIB.HTPvrs | all components required by the Com-plete HTTP server
HTPvrs.INPL | an INPL file for Natural modules and example programs (required only for Natural CGI)

### Copying Contents of the Tape to Disk

#### Step 1: Copy the installation datasets to disk

- Use the LIBR Restore function to copy the HTTP server components from the tape into the library or sublibrary of your choice. Software AG recommends that you use the library SAGLIB and the sublibrary HTPvrs.

## Step-by-Step Installation

#### Step 1: Modify the Com-plete Start-up Job

- Add the HTTP server library and sublibrary to the LIBDEF concatenation.

#### Step 2: Modify the Com-plete Start-up Parameters

- Add a parameter

      SERVER=(HTTP,HAENSERV,CONF=/lib/parmlib/haanconf.j)

  specifying the configuration member created in the previous step.

## Installation Verification

Restart Com-plete in order to pick up the changes made above.

From a web browser, enter

    http://ip-addr:port

where

ip-addr | is the IP address of the TCP/IP subsystem where the HTTP server is running
port | is the port number specified in your HTTP server configuration

You should get the start page of the Com-plete web interface, or whatever resource you specified in the DFLTURL parameter in your HTTP server configuration.

## Troubleshooting

#### Com-plete Initializes, but the HTTP Server Initialization Fails

The HTTP server configuration is probably invalid.

- Check for messages during the HTTP server initialization process that may identify the problem.

- Check in particular for socket errors that occur if the specified port is already in use by another application in your system.

#### The HTTP Server Initializes, but Access Attempts Fail

The problem is probably in the request being issued or the port number being used. Ensure that

- the IP address or host name used to identify the target host actually identifies the TCP/IP stack with which Com-plete is communicating. More than one IP address is possible on a mainframe system: if you use the wrong one, your request will time out or be rejected.

- you can connect to the IP addresses by pinging that node. If the ping fails, you have no physical connection to that host.

- the port specified is the one the HTTP server is configured to work with.

## Where Next?

Familiarize yourself with the customization and configuration options available in the product. Following the customization sections are a number of sections detailing specific functionalities and their implementation.

For specific information about the programming interfaces and how to use them, refer to the section Programming CGI Requests.
