then

HPWS_APACHE_START=1

HP-UX Apache-based Web Server. It is universally accessible via any web browser and can use SSL encryption. Configuration with Webmin does not preclude configuration via other tools, or via the command line. Webmin is an excellent tool for both novice and experienced system administrators. As a tool for novices, it can provide a means of getting involved in system administration with minimal knowledge of the managed component and can be an effective teaching tool.

My Sample :- hpws_apacheconf

# Set HPWS_APACHE_START to 1 to have the Apache web-server started by the
# init process.
HPWS_APACHE_START=1
HPWS_APACHE_START_SSL=1

# Set HPWS_APACHE_HOME to the location of the Apache web-server.
# Default is /opt/hpws/apache
HPWS_APACHE_HOME=/opt/hpws/apache

but when i try to save it ,

a message

"Enter the encryption mode : " came out .

what is that?

Backup the existing by below command

cp -p /etc/rc.config.d/hpws_apacheconf /etc/rc.config.d/hpws_apacheconf.bk

are you familier with "vi" editor

vi /etc/rc.config.d/hpws_apacheconf

HPWS_APACHE_START=0 --> Change to 1

can you try add the lines which I posted above post.

"You can encrypt a file using the :X subcommand.
Ensure that you remember the encryption key because an easy means to unencrypt a file
does not exist. Only the first 6 characters of a key are significant."

I believe your issue is caused by the ":x" you illustrated.

Note that some variants of "vi" (on some platforms) using :X or possibly :x will prompt for an encryption key. Since you don't specify your OS, I'd have to guess that that is what is happening here.

to exit and save use ZZ,Esc-ZZ, or :wq
