Apache version upgrade

[Sanjiv Sharma_1]

Hi,

I have L3000 with HP-UX 11i-OE-MC (HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment Component) which consists of Apache ver 1.3.19.20. I have been advised to upgrade the Apache to the latest version as it is velnerable.

From where can I get the latest version of the Apache Software and the procedure to install.

Thanks,
Raje.

You can it from HPUX porting center.
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/cgi-bin/search
OR
http://httpd.apache.org/
The latter has all the documentation you need.
Hope it helps ..

You can get the latest version here. It comes with it's own instructions on how to load it. It is version 2.0.39 which has the security problem fixed.

The version from the porting centre has not got the security problem rectified. Get the latest version from the link I posted earlier.

Hi Chan/Micheal,

Thanks dor your reply.

I got the software at
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/apache-1.3.26/

The the apache s/w available is for HP-UX 11.00 and HP-UX 11.20.
My HP-UX version is 11.11.

Which one should I use? Simply swinstall will help or I need to do further compilation after installation?

Thanks,
Raje.

Hi Raje,
I prefer on my side, compiling it, because you can select all the parameters you want (path and so on),
The easiest way to compile GNU tools is to use gcc+binutils, you can get it from any portal center (or gnu.org). gunzip is also required.
Once installed, place gcc in your path, and download latest Apache source software (from APache.org).
Once you gunzipped the tar ball, untar it : you have the source software.
In this directory, run ./configure --help to see all the options.
The most important option is --prefix=.
Run then ./configure .
After it makefiles are ready :
#make
To create all the binaries,
#make install
to create paths and install binaries..

IT's not difficult and you select all the options you want.
If you have Ansi CC, you can use it instead of gcc..

Hope that help, and good compilations...
Benoit

I binary files in http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/hpux/
are also for HP-UX 11.00 and HP-UX 11.20.

Which one should I use? Or from where can I get the Apache ver 1.3.26 for HP-UX 11.11?

I prefer to download precompiled/supported builds from hp's software server:

http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProducts.pl?group_name=HP%20Apache-based%20Web%20Server&group_image=cat_featured.gif&group_type=family

If you go to www.software.hp.com, it's ususally on the top 10 list.

Later,
Bill
