NCSA's httpd V 1.3 ported to the HP3000!




 Overview 



This is a port of httpd to the HP3000.  I'm currently


using this on my own systems for distributing information, and it is working


quite well for me.  That does not preclude the possibility of porting


problems, and it is likely that some exist.  So please, when using this


software, keep in mind that problems may occur.



 

If you do encounter any problems with this software, please send me some


mail.  I will at least collect the problems and hope to look at them later.


I can't guarantee that I will have time to fix them.  Also, please try


not to contact me for installation and other problems with NCSA's httpd.


The instructions for http are available at URL:

 System Requirements 



Your system must be running MPE/iX 5.0 pull release or later (X.50.20).


You must have the HP C compiler installed.


You must have networking installed.



 

Installation

 

The following instructions will load the files into an account called "WWW".






As long as you use the "WWW" account name, everything will be loaded

preconfigured and ready to run.  You probably won't even have to change the


configuration files. 


If you want to use an account name other than "WWW", you'll need to modify


the following instructions somewhat and also modify the config files for the


httpd server.  



 Loading from tape: 
	
	

 Logon as MANAGER.SYS.
	

 Load the tape.
	

 : file t;dev=tape	
	

 : RESTORE *t;/@;tree;create=path;show;copyacd
	

 : altacct www;cap=AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PM,PH
	

 : altgroup bin.www;cap=BA,IA,PM,PH
	

 : altuser mgr.www;cap=AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PH,PM
	
	

 Installation is complete.
	




 Compressed TAR file: 
	


	 

Logon as MANAGER.SYS.
	

 : newacct WWW,MGR;cap=AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PM,PH
	

 : newgroup BIN.WWW;cap=BA,IA,PM,PH
	

 : newgroup WWW.WWW
	

 : altuser MGR.WWW;cap=AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PH,PM 
	

 : hello MGR.WWW
	

 : sh.hpbin.sys -L 
	

	Note:  The remainder of the commands are running under


		the posix shell 


	 Copy the downloaded file to /WWW/WWW/httpd_1.3.tar.Z.
	

 $ uncompress httpd_1.3.tar.Z
	

 $ tar xvf /WWW/WWW/httpd_1.3.tar.Z
	

 $ cd lib
	

 $ make	

 $ cd ../httpd_1.3/src
	

 $ make	
	

 <Optional Edit the files in httpd_1.3/conf to suit your needs
	

 Read the httpd server installation instructions from NCSA for more
	

	information.




	 Installation is complete.
	

 Running the server: 
	
	

 From the CI prompt:  stream httpdjob.bin.www 


	

 Killing the server 
	
	 

use "abortjob" to abort the job 
	







 Troubleshooting: 




When I try to compile the libbsd.a library I get


"ar: libbsd.a is not a valid library (file code should be NMRL)"



This is a bug with the ar utility.  You can fix it yourself by modifying


the /etc/ar.ccg script. 



The lines which read: 



assert((fcode = filecode(libpath)) && fcode != "NMRL",


        lib|" is not a valid library (file code should be NMRL)");



Should be corrected to: 



assert((!o_r) && (fcode = filecode(libpath)) && fcode != "NMRL",


        lib|" is not a valid library (file code should be NMRL)");



Of course, contact your customer support representative for a more


official fix, although this worked for me.
