Warning

The following steps are NOT necessary if WebControl is automatically installed together with i-effect.

The required WebControl version is available on request (support@menten.com)

Installing WebControl

For installation, the WebControl folder must be extracted from the ZIP file in "/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol".

Afterwards, files must be copied from the following subfolders of WebControl:

• The Loader "ioncube_loader_os400_7.2_10.3.3.so" must be copied from the folder "/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_ioncube_php_7.2" into the folder "/root/usr/local/zendphp7/php/7.2/lib/ext".
• The file "ioncube.ini" must be copied from the folder "/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_ioncube_php_7.2" into the folder "/usr/local/zendphp7/php/7.2/etc/conf.d".

CPY OBJ('/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_ioncube_php_7.2/ioncube_loader_os400_7.2_10.3.3.so')
TODIR('/usr/local/zendphp7/php/7.2/lib/ext')
REPLACE(*YES)

CPY OBJ('/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_ioncube_php_7.2/ioncube.ini')
TODIR('/usr/local/zendphp7/php/7.2/etc/conf.d')
REPLACE(*YES)

Customize permissions

The required permissions for the WebControl directory are set via a script:

qsh

/i-effect/v2r8m0/base/tools/scripts/setWebcontrolAccess.sh V2R8M0 /www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/v2r8m0

IBM i Toolkit Patch

Furthermore, the version of the XML Toolkit for IBM i shipped with ZendServer contains several bugs. Therefore files must be replaced here if you are using version 1.7.x.
Depending on the version you use, you have to copy into the folder ".../1.7.1/library" or ".../1.7.2/library".

• The file "autoload.php" must be copied from the folder "/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_xmltoolkit_patch" into the folder "/root/usr/local/zendphp7/var/libraries/PHP_Toolkit_for_IBMI_i/1.7.x/library".
• The file "Toolkit.php" must be copied from the folder "/wwww/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_xmltoolkit_patch" into the folder "/root/usr/local/zendphp7/var/libraries/PHP_Toolkit_for_IBMI_i/1.7.x/library

CPY OBJ('/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_xmltoolkit_patch/autoload.php')
TODIR('/usr/local/zendphp7/var/libraries/PHP_Toolkit_for_IBMI_i/1.7.1/library')
REPLACE(*YES)

CPY OBJ('/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_xmltoolkit_patch/Toolkit.php')
TODIR('/usr/local/zendphp7/var/libraries/PHP_Toolkit_for_IBMI_i/1.7.1/library')
REPLACE(*YES)

CPY OBJ('/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_xmltoolkit_patch/autoload.php')
TODIR('/usr/local/zendphp7/var/libraries/PHP_Toolkit_for_IBMI_i/1.7.2/library')
REPLACE(*YES)

CPY OBJ('/www/zendphp7/htdocs/webcontrol/V2R8M0/_xmltoolkit_patch/Toolkit.php')
TODIR('/usr/local/zendphp7/var/libraries/PHP_Toolkit_for_IBMI_i/1.7.2/library')
REPLACE(*YES)
