Installing Apache on HP-Ux

[Bill Brutzman]

I tried to download a big file from Apache.org and use tar to unzip the file. I obtained some directory errors.

Perhaps I am going about it all wrong. Should I be using SAM to install Geronimo? What are the steps?

Did you download the source or a binary?
Did you transfer it from a windows system to the server with ftp? In this case you need to use binary mode!

Did you had a look at this?

Search for apache.

Hi Bill,

Have a look at the HP-UX Web Server Suite software bundle

Shalom,

Better to do this:
http://software.hp.com
search for hpws

Download your chosen version and use swinstall to install it.

There is full support for these applications on the HP version.

LIKE WHAT?

Some open-source project kits expect you to
use GNU "tar" to unpack them. Less capable
"tar" programs can have trouble with the
"tar" format extensions used for long file
names, large files, and so on.

However, with virtually no evidence of what
you did, or what happened when you did it,
it's pretty tough to say what you should do
about it.

Your directory errors on Geronimo were discussed in your previous thread:

Ah. Thanks for the cross reference. Perhaps
if I solve this problem a few more times,
it'll become more memorable. (Consciously,
that is.)

Or perhaps the known solution will eventually
catch on, reducing the need for repeated
explanations.
