Need Web Server for HP-UX

[Trojan36]

Looking for a web server with CGI capabilities, please provide any suggestions. Any other web server besides Apache and Sun One? Thx in advance.

What's wrong wuth Apache?

It's free. HP appears to support it.

Try this link

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXWSSUITE

and note this statement:

"HP-UX Web Server Suite is supported by the HP Worldwide Response Centers for customers with an HP-UX support contract."

The decision on not to useApache is a company direction. Therefore, I was looking for other web servers that does CGI on HP-UX.

So, ask the fellow who prohibits you from
using the most popular available Web server
which one you should use instead. (Or, just
ask, "Why?")

[Torsten.]

If you search the internet for "The world's most popular Web server software" I already know what you will find (see above).
Even all other "flavors" are at least apache based, like this:

Another commonly used server software won't run on hp-ux, because it is called IIS.

If you find another software with comparable features and safety for hp-ux, on which you can even get support if needed, please let us know.

Why? "The decision on not to useApache is a

apparently, so no further thought is
required (or permitted). In this situation,
facts become a burden, not a help.

I think you are right Steven.
;-)

I still hope he will clarify this decision.

[Steven Schweda]

I'll admit that I'd like to know the
reasoning behind that decision, but I won't
be holding my breath while I wait for it.
