Starting and Restarting the Apache service.

Please help!!! I just installed Fedora and downloaded and installed all the updates. Since I just upgraded from Red Hat 9, I wanted to reconfigure my webserver. I made all the configurations, but when I tried to start/restart the service in services. When I looked for "httpd" it wasn't there. What did it change to or how do you do it now? Any help would be much appreciated!!! Thanx!!!

Are you sure apache is installed? If not, download the latest tarball and install it. Should work then

I've got the exact same issue... upgraded from RH8 to fedora... httpd disappeared from list. Any solution?

Btw... I'm sure I have Apache install, etc. I can run it manually by going to /etc/init.d/httpd restart, but it's gone AWOL from startup and from services.

Yay! I'm not the only one with the problem!!!

/usr/sbin/apache start

?

that's the command to start apache 1.3.29 on my system, at least.

So, the problem is a fairly annoying one, but easy enough to fix. I noticed several things were missing, not just Apache. (Missing from the services panel, that is.)

In my case, when upgrading to Fedora from RH8, the installer deleted a bunch of links to init.d files from the rc*.d directories. That's it! Just recreate the files, and you're back in business. Lame, eh?

cheers.
