HP-UX System Management Homepage (HP SMH) – HP-UX SMH

does not work if Apache 2.0 is not installed

ISSUE

HP SMH does not work if Apache 2.0 is removed. This issue occurs because HP SMH requires Apache

2.0 installed. While you can migrate to Apache 2.2, HP SMH 3.0 works only with Apache 2.0.

SOLUTION

The workaround is that you can have both Apache versions 2.0 and 2.2 on the same system. The two

versions can coexist since they execute from different paths. Apache 2.0 runs from the path

/opt/hpws whereas Apache 2.2 runs from the path /opt/hpws22.

The current version of HP SMH runs using only Apache 2.0 which executes from the path /opt/hpws.

Even if Apache version 2.2 is installed, SMH works well without any conflicts. This is because Apache

runs using port number 80 whereas HP SMH runs using port number 2301 and 2381. Even when

multiple instances of Apache are operating, SMH works by using its own instance of only Apache version

2.0.
