HPApache on HP-UX 11.11

[Anthony Arindaeng]

HP-UX 11.11 comes with Apache 2.0.43. We don't use apache and are not planning to use them in the near future. What is the best way to uninstall/swremove the package/bundle? There are several filesets included with HPApache. Should I use swremove on each one?

swremove the bundle should remove all filesets, unless those filesets are being used by something else.

You can do swremove in interactive mode and select all of them individually if you want to be sure you get them all.

HPApace doesn't show in the swlist. I guess its not a bundle. If I do swlist -l fileset | grep -i apache, it gives me the list above. I'm looking for a clean way to uninstall all of them.

[Geoff Wild]

You can just disable it -

/sbin/init.d/apache stop

vi /etc/rc.config.d/apacheconf

change APACHE_START=1 to APACHE_START=0


Or to remove, I think you can:
swlist -l product |grep -i apache
ApacheStrong 1.3.19.23 HP Apache-based Web Server with Strong (128bit) Encryption

Then swremove ApacheStrong?

if you bring up the swremove gui.

scroll to
HPUXi-OE-Ent
press enter
scroll to
HPApache
spacebar to select
tab
actions
Remove

that should get them all

Thanks Marvin. Tha works.
Just curious, since Apache is bundled with HPUXi-OE-Ent, is there any impact on the OS in any way,if this is removed completely?

[Marvin Strong]

None that I am aware of.

[Steven E. Protter]

There is no impact on the OS by removing apache. HP did provide some documentation as part of that apache server.

If you don't care about the documentation, swremove the server.

If you plan on keeping apache, they are up to version 2.0.49. You can get 2.03 of HP's web suite free at http://software.hp.com

Thanks Steven. The reason we are removing Apache is because of constant exposure to vulnerabilities. Even though we are not using Apache, it is still installed and can still be exploited. No point of upgrading it. New vulnerabilities and threats will always be there.
Thanks for everyone.
