WASD Configuration Issue - Cannot access WEB directory

I've tried to get WASD working but am kind of tearing my hair out now
getting it to serve up anything but the default pages in HT_ROOT.

Can anyone help please? I followed the instructions in the Nonstop
book
as far as I can tell but I just can't seem to get anything to work
other
than the default configuration.

I'd like to serve up pages from a different root, say $WEB: (which is
as
described in the Nonstop book) which is configured like this:

$ DEFINE HT_ROOT /SYSTEM/EXEC/TRANSLATION=CONCEALED DSA0:
[WASD.HT_ROOT.]
$ DEFINE $WEB /SYSTEM/EXEC/TRANSLATION=CONCEALED DSA0:[WEB.]
$ DEFINE $WEB_ROOT /SYSTEM/EXEC $WEB:[ROOT]

$ show log $web_root
"$WEB_ROOT" = "$WEB:[ROOT]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
$ show log $web
"$WEB" = "DSA0:[WEB.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
$ dir $web_root

Directory $WEB:[ROOT]

INDEX.HTML;1

Total of 1 file.
$ type $web_root:index.html
<HTML>
<BODY>
THIS IS THE ONE
</BODY>
</HTML>

Then I edited the HT_ROOT:[LOCAL]HTTPD$MAP.CONF file so that it ends:

# just for the demonstration file!
#pass /* /ht_root/*
pass /* /$Web_root/*

Then restart the server:

@ht_root:[startup]shutdown
@ht_root:[startup]startup

And attempt to access the root of the webserver:

http://orac/

And I get:

ERROR 403 - The requested action is not permitted.

Additional information: 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, Help


________________________________________________________________________
WASD/9.3.0 Server at orac.appsoftint.co.uk Port 80

I've tried all sorts of combinations, checked the permissions of the
files in the directory being server but I just keep drawing a complete
blank.

Please help!
