Update Child HTTP Repositories

But this only updates the repository on the HP Device Manager server itself. When you have child repositories in your organization, you need to update these manually!!

Especially internet-faced DMZ situated repositories need to be updated directly.

To manually update, follow the instructions below:

• Download the update files using the links below:
  • https://ftp.hp.com/pub/hpdm/Patches/HTTPS_Updates/Apache.zip
  • https://ftp.hp.com/pub/hpdm/Patches/HTTPS_Updates/PHP.zip
  • https://ftp.hp.com/pub/hpdm/Patches/HTTPS_Updates/OpenSSLzip
• Unpack the file in a temp folder on the server where the HTTPS repositories resides
• Execute the file
  • UpgradePHP.cmd
  • UpgradeApache.cmd
  • UpgradeOpenSSL.cmd
• After this the software is updated.

Installing non HP version of PHP <- Does not work on HPDM 5.0 SP10

In some cases the HP provided version of PHP is not the very latest one. If your (security) organization demands that you install the latest version. Please follow the the instructions below:

• At a temporary location create a folder PHP
• Download the latest version of PHP (x64 Thread Safe) at https://windows.php.net/download.
• Unpack the zip file in the created PHP folder
• Put the following file UpgradePHP.cmd in the folder above the PHP folder. For instance:
  • You created C:\Temp\PHP
  • Put the file UpgradePHP.cmd in the folder C:\Temp
• Open a command-box and run it as an administrator
• Start the file C:\Temp\UpgradePHP.cmd
• After the script is done the new version of PHP is installed.
