There is a useful general method for solving equations that do not feature the IV explicitly.
Let $v = u'$ be the new dependent variable, and $u$ the new independent variable. Then $\frac{dv}{du} = \frac{dv/dx}{du/dx} = \frac{u''}{u'}$ so we can write a first-order ODE for $v(u)$ and solve it. The solution will be some family of functions $v(u)$ depending on an unknown constant $C_1$.
Now we see that $du/dx = v(u)$ for the function $v$ we got in the last step, keeping the constant of course. This is of course yet another first-order ODE which can be solved for the solution $u(x)$, now depending on two constants.
Plug in your initial or boundary conditions and you can find the particular solution you want!
