For MPE/iX 7.5, WebWise server has been updated to version A.03.00 and replaces Apache in FOS as a no-extra-cost bundled product.

Migrating from Previous Versions of Apache

The /APACHE/PUB/JHTTPD job stream file from previous versions of Apache is not compatible with HP WebWise MPE/iX Secure Web Server. You must manually create a new JHTTPD job stream file buy using the WebWise /APACHE/PUB/JHTTPD.sample template.

The /APACHE/PUB/conf/httpd.conf configuration file from previous versions of Apache may or may not be compatible with WebWise, depending on the previous Apache version:

  • 1.3.4 -- NOT compatible. You must use /APACHE/PUB/conf/httpd.conf.sample as a template to create a new httpd.conf file.

  • 1.3.9 -- compatible, but SSL functionality will not be enabled. To enable SSL functionality, you MUST use /APACHE/PUB/conf/httpd.conf.sample as a template to create a new httpd.conf file.

  • 1.3.14 -- compatible, but SSL functionality will not be enabled. To enable SSL functionality, you MUST use /APACHE/PUB/conf/httpd.conf.sample as a template to create a new httpd.conf file.

In addition to updating /APACHE/PUB/conf/httpd.conf, it is strongly recommended to update all of the configuration files in the same directory by using the corresponding *.sample files.

Migrating from WebWise A.01.00

HP WebWise MPE/iX Secure Web Server version A.03.00 was designed to be a drop-in replacement for Apache, and does not attempt to upgrade or migrate any files from the WebWise A.01.00 /APACHE/SECURE directory tree.

You must manually use the A.03.00 *.sample files in the /APACHE/PUB/conf directory tree to create new standard configuration files, and then propagate any local customization that you made in the A.01.00 /APACHE/SECURE/conf directory tree.

You will need to copy your server key and certificate from the old A.01.00 locations of /APACHE/SECURE/conf/ssl.key/server.key and /APACHE/SECURE/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt to the new A.03.00 locations of /APACHE/SECURE/conf/ssl.key/server.key and /APACHE/SECURE/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt.

Any A.01.00 CGI applications in /APACHE/SECURE/cgi-bin or any data content in /APACHE/SECURE/htdocs can either be moved to the corresponding A.03.00 directories in /APACHE/PUB, or left in place after adjusting the new A.03.00 configuration files to refer to the old A.01.00 locations.

WebWise A.01.00 accessed web page content as the user SECURE.APACHE, but WebWise A.03.00 accesses web page content as the user www.APACHE. This is the same user as used by Apache A.02.00.
