AIX Toolbox used to provide apr, apr-util and httpd as a single package/rpm.

Recently, it is split up into separate apr,apr-util and httpd rpms(in line with other distros).

Those who use yum to update to the latest version of httpd won't face any issues.

Others who manually update httpd through rpm command, follow these steps.

1. Download apr-1.5.2, apr-util-1.5.4 (https://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/apr/) and httpd-2.4.38-2 rpms (If httpd-devel of old version is installed,then download apr-devel and apr-util-devel as well).

2. Run rpm -Uvh <apr> <apr-util> <httpd>

  If httpd-devel is also installed, then run

   rpm -Uvh <apr> <apr-devel> <apr-util> <apr-util-devel> <httpd> <httpd-devel>

please refrain from adding K*and S* scripts in the rc.d directories, it is not the vendors matter to force the startup of server daemons.  this might be cool on desktop distributions but in an server environment this is highly

uncomfortable. this possibly relates to other packages to (samba, etc...).

/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/Khttpd
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/Shttpd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/Khttpd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/Shttpd

Hi Chris,

Sorry I am not able to understand the concern over having Startup/Shutdown scripts in the /etc/rc2.d dir.

This is system V standard/recommendation style of init.

hi,

its a little bit prone to failure as for example httpd is a dependency of another needed package, and on next reboot httpd comes up unexpected. now one can oppose that the script can be removed on the user side, but on

next upgrade it is reinstalled.  unpleasant, isnt it, especially in an hacmp/ha environment?
