Red Hat 7.2--Can't find Apache

dmg2206 · 08-01-2002, 04:06 PM

I accidentally uninstalled the Apache RPM from my system (Red Hat 7.2). Now the file seems to have disappeared on me. Any ideas where I can find it?

You can pick up the latest version of Apache from www.apache.org if the rpm is completely missing from your machine.

I suggest you get an RH 7.x apache from from http://www.joshie.com/projects/apache-frontpage/ as those 1s are quite good (the frontpage bit is optional)

Well, I did manage to find a copy of the RPM on the install CD, but now I've got a new problem. I try to run httpd and I get "bash: httpd: command not found:.

if your using 1.3.xx try this
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

if 2.x
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

OK, it appears that the RPM that was shipped with RedHat 7.2 behaves in ways contrary to all the documentation I've been able to find, including stuff at RedHat's website.

HTML pages, cgi scripts and icons are found in /var/www, not /home/httpd.

I found httpd in /usr/sbin.

apachectl is no where to be found.

Well, it looks like I've got a lot more reading to do before I can get this thing functioning.

I think apachectl is /usr/bin/apachectl
