HP OpenVMS Secure WebServer (Apache)

Now that we've tested WASD, we can also try HP Secure WebServer (ex Compaq WebServer). It's basically Apache + SSL and OpenVMS patches.

FTP upload or download or get the packages on the server.

$ PRODUCT INSTALL
_Product name (* to show list): *
The following product has been selected:
CPQ AXPVMS CSWS V2.1-1 Layered Product


Once the package is installed, configure it:

@SYS$MANAGER:APACHE$CONFIG

Now you can start apache:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:APACHE$STARTUP.COM

$ TELNET deimos 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2008 10:20:05 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.52 (OpenVMS)


Let's say we'd like to patch our webserver instead, using Web Server Suite Software Patch Kits.

Stop Apache:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:APACHE$SHUTDOWN.COM

$ RUN CPQ-AXPVMS-CSWS211_UPDATE-V0100--4.PCSI_SFX_AXPEXE;1

$ @SYS$STARTUP:APACHE$STARTUP

You can now just drop stuff in SYS$COMMON:[APACHE.HTDOCS]
