Apache on Solaris 2

[agape234]

Having to rebuild a Sun/Solaris platform. Solaris 8 OS out of the box offers no Apached documentation. Is Apache part of the overall Solaris install CDs or do I need to download it and load it after I have the OS loaded and ready.

I don't know if solaris has the "which", "whereis" or find commands but there should be something that will tell you where it is. The executable is called httpd. You will find it in you bin or sbin directories if it is installed. You may also find a symlink or script by the same name in with your start up scripts. If it isn't installed, you can get a copy of apache specifically for solaris at

http://www.apache.org

You can find it by typing this as root

find / -name "httpd" -print

It will find any instances of httpd on your disk. If you dont find it go install it.

Solaris 8 doesn't come with Apache. Download it and other utilities from

http://www.sunfreeware.com/.

This isn't a pitch for their website, we have 8 Sparc boxes we use to manage our network and we go here to get what utilities we might need. You can also visit

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin

to get help with Solaris if you need it.

Yes Solaris 8 does include Apache, but it is an older version. You are better off downloading the newest version from httpd.apache.org. I have had issues getting the 2 series to work right with ssl on Solaris 8 and 9.

Good Luck

If Sol8 does come with Apache, is it part of the default install discs, or are there additional discs that are needed? Thanks

Does anyone have a step by step install guide on how to upgrade apache 1.3 on solaris?

i installed apache 2.0 on my solaris 9 sparc, but now i have two versions. i found some info on other forums, but most of them are for linux. i'm not sure if the upgrade process will work for solaris.
