Deactivating and Deinstalling NSA HTTP

This section contains procedures for deactivating and deinstalling HP-UX NSA HTTP.

Deactivating NSA HTTP

1. Stop the Web server being used with the NSA HTTP service.

2. Deregister the NSA HTTP application port used by the web server (the default port

number is 80, or otherwise configured in /etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf):

nsahttp -D -p port_num

3. Restart the Web server.

Deinstalling NSA HTTP

Follow the procedure listed below to deinstall NSA HTTP.

NOTE Although the NSA HTTP kernel module, nsamod, is a DLKM, there are cases

when deinstalling NSA HTTP on a system where the Web server was serving a

local Web client may cause the swremove utility to reboot the system. For more

information, refer to “Known Problems and Workarounds” on page 11.

1. Stop the Web server being used with the NSA HTTP service.

2. Deregister the NSA HTTP application port used by the web server (the default port

number is 80, or otherwise configured in /etc/rc.config.d/nsahttpconf):

nsahttp -D -p port_num

3. Restart the Web server.

4. If you want to retain any NSA HTTP log files in the /var/nsa directory, copy the files to a

backup medium or move them to another directory, such as /tmp. Removing the NSA

HTTP product in the next step will also remove the /var/nsa directory.

5. Remove the NSA HTTP product by executing the following command:

swremove -x autoreboot=true NSAHTTP

The swremove utility requires the -x autoreboot=true option because the NSA HTTP

product includes a DLKM (nsamod), and it cannot determine if a reboot is required at the

time you issue the swremove command. In most cases, no reboot is necessary.
