How to run 2 versions of arswww.cgi

[ibmarthin]

Can someone help me on this:
I am upgrading 4 instances from 8.4.0 to 8.5.0 and for a period I need to run the 8.5.0 arswww.cgi instance  parallel with the 8.4.0.

I can't find the place in the manual that points where in http.conf and/or arswww.ini files to point to 2 different arswww.cgi versions.
The httpd.conf file definitions for OnDemand:
Exec       /arswww/arswww.cgi         /cust/http/test/arscgi/arswww.cgi
Exec       /arswww/arswww.cgi/*.tif   /cust/http/test/arscgi/arswww.cgi
Exec       /arswww/arswww.cgi/*.pdf   /cust/http/test/arscgi/arswww.cgi
Exec       /arswww/arswww.cgi/*.jpg   /cust/http/test/arscgi/arswww.cgi
Exec       /arswww/arswww.cgi/*.afp   /cust/http/test/arscgi/arswww.cgi
?Exec       /arswww/*                  /usr/lpp/ars/www/arswww.cgi     
Pass       /arswww/*    /usr/lpp/ars/www/*                             
ServerInit   /usr/lpp/internet/bin/mvsds.so:mvsdsInit /cust/http/mvsds.conf
CacheLocalFile   /ars/tmp/Admin/lgmast.gif                             
CacheLocalFile   /ars/tmp/Admin/lgsplash.gif                           
CacheLocalFile   /ars/tmp/pub/Frntpage.html

Hello Marthin,

Well difficult to say, never done it.

As you know, you cannot have both ODWEK 8.4 and 8.5 at the same time installed in your server... meaning that with a single web server, you won't be able to do what you want to achieve...
With an Application Server (JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere), you can do something like that with a servlet (java).

But not with the cgi, simply because the cgi is only a shell for the static library.

For me the only way is really to use either ODWEK 8.4 or 8.5... just decide on one.
Personally I would say 8.5... (8.5.0..

Sincerely yours,
Alessandro

I solved it by running 2 separate HTTP servers for CGI 840 and 850         
                                                                       
3.  The one http server is called PROD WEBSERVER starts on another     
    the SYMLINK for that server which is 8.4.0 points to               
    /cust/http/prod/arscgi/arswww.cgi which points to the 8.4.0:       
    /usr/lpp/ars/www/arswww.cgi                                         
                                                                       
4.  The second http server which is our new 8.5.0 server I altered   
    the SYMLINK /cust/http/test/arscgi/arswww.cgi to point             
    to the 8.5.0 version /usr/lpp/ars/V8R5M0/www/arswww.cgi and it now 
    works
