Setup Apache on HP-UX 11i

[Timmy Sin]

Hi,

I would like to setup HTTP service on my HP box for client to access some files on the server through browser.
I found the /opt/apache directory in my factory-installed HP-UX 11i. Is it enough for my purpose? If yes, how to configure? If not, what should I do?
Grateful if anyone can give me some idea on that.

Thanks,
Timmy

Hi Timmy,

allthough not using 11i I would guess that if you can find httpd and apachectl under bin directory you shoulb be fine.

Just to be on the safe side, why not trying to download the latest version from www.apache.org

The way I would do it, is to create a group (i.e. "webgroup") and a user (i.e. "webuser")

Make a directory in the "webusers"'s home where the pages are going to reside.

Edit the httpd.conf file and change the following:
ServerName to mach your server name
ServerRoot /opt/apache
User webuser
Group webgroup
Documentroot /homedir/of/webuser/pagesdir
Errorlog /usually/homedir/of/webuser/logs

Make sure the DirectoryIndex option contains the mail html page you want to be read when you call the web server (by default index.htm or index.html or main.html...etc)

Next, chown webuser:webgroup /homedir/of/webuser/pagesdir (and all others under it)

Ready to go... /opt/apache/bin/apachectl start

Check with ps if any httpd procceses are running and test the server with a browser.

Hope this helps...
