HPUXWS APACHE on ia64 (rx4610)

[Rick Frank]

Wondering if anyone could point me to a resolution. Installed the current version of HP webserver on HPUX 11i 1.5. No errors at all recorded during the swinstall.
When trying to start Apache manually I get the message below & Apache of course fails to start. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Rick,

Strange swinstall did not complane, looks like you are installing a apache version for 11i version 1.6 or 2.0. I tried to locate a apache release for 11.20 on the www.software.hp.com. Looks like HP removed these versions since 11.20 is discontinued.

Your server is suported for 11i version 1.6

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Many thanks. I suspected a version issue but since nothing was specifically mentioned for B.11.20 (v1.5) I assumed that the v1.6 replacement should work (or that patches would be available to make it work).

I'm new to the world of HPUX (I use RHEL Linux on all my 32 bit machines), and looking around the website see no obvious way of finding out how to upgrade to v1.6. I assume this is buried in some sort of support agreement.

I suspect I'm going to have to compile Apache & Tomcat from source. What a pain. (the mod jk2 config is always nasty)

Any suggestions to minimize work & moeny are appreciated. Thanks.

See about using swremove on the version that is installed.

Then get the right version from http://software.hp.com for your OS.

Then swinstall that.

Backup any web content that was posted. Probably not needed, but if you care about the data back it up.

Rick,

I haven't done the particular upgrade you're discussing, but it's usually just a matter of obtaining media (usually from HP), reading/responding to the docs, and performing the upgrade. (I'm assuming you know all the usual caveats.)

As to the rest: I preferred to purchase HP's C compiler for building. That said, check out some of the online resources before assuming you have to compile. There aren't nearly as many for HP-UX, but a commonly used one is the HP-UX Porting and Archive Center set of mirrors:

HTH,

Hi,

Thanks for the last couple of respones.
1) Already did a swremove, unfortunately there appears to be no product for b.11.20 which seems to have been completely abandoned.
2) As for compiling, this is a treat unto itself on HP-UX (as I discovered on the weekend) To compile Apache you need GCC to and the stock compiler on HP won't compile GCC itself (which also needs to be complied as there is no binary for b.11.20 that I could find). I think I may be forced to run much older binary versions of apache & tomcat unless I upgrade to b.11.22.
Would be happy to consider any other suggestions as I don't like running versions with known security issues.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have support on this server ?

[Rick Frank]

No, I bought it used and transfered the HP_UX license and registered the machine but have no additional support.
Not sure what (if any) warranty was available that was transferable, I suspect none after this period of time. Would be willing to consider this but don't know if you can pick up a service contract under these circumstances.
If you know a link that points to this info it would be appreciated.
Thanks

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

do you still have the system handle number (support agreement number) ?

try to add it to your ITRC account, click on your "my profile" on the left side of your screen.

[Rick Frank]

Sorry, have the serial # product_number & serial_number only. I doubt that is useful.

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

call the HP support center, they should be able to verify if you still have some kind of support based on the serial number.

I thought I had resolved this when I found the link below which alleges it is for V1.5 + v1.6. Unfortunately the link downloads hpuxwsTomcat_A.1.0.03.01_HP-UX_B.11.22_IA.depot which swinstall recognizes as v1.6 specific.
