HP Apache-based Web Server for HP-UX
The HP Apache-based Web Server for HP-UX is an HTTP/1.1 compliant server that
implements the latest protocols. The server includes software developed by the Apache
Software Foundation for use in the Apache HTTP server project (see
http://www.apache.org). The HP Apache-based Web Server can be customized by
writing software modules using the Apache module API.
The HP-UX release of the HP Apache-based Web Server includes pre-compiled binaries
that have been preconfigured to run on HP-UX 11.0 and later releases. It is supported on
32-bit and 64-bit systems. It runs as a 32-bit binary on 64-bit HP-UX 11.0 and 11i. It is
not supported on HP-UX 10.20.
This version of the HP Apache-based Web Server includes 128-bit strong encryption.
Apache SSL connections use a default dummy certificate provided by HP.
For the latest download and documentation information, please visit

NOTE You must obtain certificates from authorized agencies for commercial purposes and
make the necessary changes in httpd.conf to use the desired certificates.
IMPORTANT HP Apache v.1.3.x has been deprecated (slated for future obsolescence). Starting July 1,
2003, HP Apache 1.3.x will not be supported on HP-UX.
December 2002 is the last release of HP Apache v1.3.x distributed in the HP-UX 11i OE.
Starting March 2003, HP Apache v.2.x will be distributed on the HP-UX OE. HP Apache
1.3.x will still be available on HP Software Depot (http://software.hp.com) until June
30th, 2003.
Customers should begin upgrading to HP Apache v.2.0 (product number B9416AA). It is
available today on the Application Release CD that was shipped in this bundle, as well
as on HP Software Depot (http://www.software.hp.com). Compared to previous
versions, HP Apache v.2.0 offers better performance and new IPv6, WebDAV, and PHP-
connectivity-to-Oracle support to provide a more robust web server for your HP 11i
environment. In addition, to assist with this transition, HP has also created the
Migration Guide - HP Apache-based Web Server Version 1.3.x to 2.x, which can be
downloaded free of charge at
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/webservers/apache/techtips/index.html.
