HTP8019 when trying to start your IBM Apache HTTP server.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Your IBM Apache HTTP server will not start.

Symptom

Message HTP8019 is thrown in the IBM HTTP Server job log

Cause

Authority was changed or directory removed.

Environment

IBM i

Diagnosing The Problem

View the IBM HTTP Server configuration file for your specific IBM HTTP Server. The default location for a HTTP Server named, MyServer, is the following:

/www/MyServer/conf/httpd.conf

You can use the following command to view it (replace MyServer with the name of your IBM Apache HTTP server:

EDTF '/www/MyServer/conf/httpd.conf'

Find the DocumentRoot directive and verify whether that path that follows it exists or not. The Document Root directive IFS path value is required to exist. If it does exist, then this is most likely an authority issue where the QTMHHTTP user profile does not have sufficient RX or RWX authority. Make sure the user profile, QTMHHTTP, has authority to each directory in the path.

Resolving The Problem

Make sure user profile QTMHHTTP has authority to each directory in the path.
