Error description
After the installation of Apache HTTP server (FMID HHAP85P for z/OS), the customer receives the messages with missing version.signature file. The version.signature file should have been added during the prereq process in the packaging.
Local fix
One-time workaround: . * Remount the r/o filesystem r/w * Create a file called "version.signature" with the text "8.5.5.2" * Remount r/o filesystem as r/o * Create a version.signature that says "8.5.5.1" in the r/w runtime HFS * Stop and start IHS . Subsequent starts will not print that warning about version.signature, including after 8.5.5.3
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM HTTP Server 8.5 from z/OS * * Ported Tools * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IBM HTTP Server startup complains * * about a missing version.signature file * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Due to a packaging error, version.signature was not included in the z/os Ported Tools packaging of IBM HTTP Server (IHS). This file helps IHS recognize when the read-only HFS has been updated to link in potential new binaries. New binaries are rare.
Problem conclusion
version.signature is now properly packaged.
Temporary fix
* Remount the r/o filesystem r/w * Create a file called "version.signature" with the text "8.5.5.2" * Remount r/o filesystem as r/o * Create a version.signature that says "8.5.5.1" in the r/w runtime HFS * Stop and start IHS
