Our customer runs an Apache HTTP server on HP-UX. They were using the JSERV Servlet engine previously. However, with WebFOCUS 5.2 it would appear that JSERV does not support the .war files.
They are therefore trying to upgrade to the latest Apache HHTP server, and then they will implement Tomcat for the Java Servlets.
Does anyone have experience with installing & compiling Apache on HPUX?
When one gets to the "make install" step in their environment, it is invoking the CA Unicenter install script, rather than a "BSD-compatible install", and we cannot figure out how to rectify this (yet).

All we had to do after all our webserver configurations for the first 5.2 install was to install new WebFOCUS gens and restart the webserver.

Twannette,

We have a customer here running WebFOCUS 5.2.0 (with UAS/MR and ReportCaster) on their development HP-UX 11i (64 bit) host with Apache 1.3.26 and Tomcat 4.1.18. They too initially tried unsuccessfully to use the old Jserv connector and are now using the jk connector instead.

In their case they did not use the latest version of Apache but used the 1.3.26 release that came as standard with HP-UX 11i. I realise that this doesn't answer your question but it may be a fallback option if you continue to struggle to get the more recent version of Apache working.

All the best,

I've heard that setting up mod_JK can be a challenge. The alternate, mod_webapp, may also be suitable, although it appears to be no longer maintained. The module that I use to link Apache 2.0.45(win32) to Tomcat 4.0.6 is mod_proxy. Details on mod_proxy are at jakarta.apache.org. Enable the proxy and add a couple of lines to Apache's httpd.conf:


ProxyPass /ibi_apps/ http://localhost:8081/ibi_apps/ />ProxyPassReverse /ibi_apps/ http://localhost:8081/ibi_apps/

Assure that Tomcat's server.xml knows that it has a proxy:


port="8081" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
acceptCount="10" debug="9"
proxyName="localhost" proxyPort="80"/>

And that you've provided a WebFOCUS52 Context path:


debug="9"/>
prefix="WFServlet_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>

And that's it for the basic configuration. Please note that the above configurations are from a minimal development environment with maximum(debug="9") logging.

Hope this helps.
