Known Issues
1. Using :ABORTJOB to stop HP WebWise MPE/iX Secure Web Server will result in leaked SVIPC
semaphores. These semaphores are not expensive resources and HP WebWise MPE/iX Secure Web Server
only uses a relative handful, but there is a finite number of semaphores allowed on a machine before you
run out. The IPCS.HPBIN.SYS CI command file (NOT a shell script!) can be used to display SVIPC
resources, and the IPCRM.HPBIN.SYS CI command file (NOT a shell script!) can be used to free leaked
resources. To avoid resource leakage, always use the kill command to stop HP WebWise MPE/iX Secure
Web Server.
2. Upon termination or restart via kill, the error_log will contain numerous warnings about child
processes not exiting promptly.
3. In order to correctly view the online documentation web pages at
http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/manual/ in the English language, you must configure your web
browser to accept language content type “en” (worldwide English). Some web browsers in the United
States default to accepting only language type “en-us” (U.S. English), and so will not be able to view some
of the mod_ssl-related “en” content. United States web browsers should be configured to accept both
language types for best results.
