Replacing new Apache version with the old one


Hi

A PC has RedHat 4.0 EL Edition and has Apache 2.0.52 running. The path of this version is /etc/httpd. The config file is in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. The htdocs directory is /var/www/html.

I got Apache 2.2.2 and did .configure, make and make install. Now, all this is in /usr/local/apache2 where htdocs, conf, bin etc folders are present

I did service httpd stop. Got into /usr/local/apache2/bin and ran apachectl. Even tried running httpd. Both seem to be executing - since no errors pop up.

But the index.html loaded is the one from /var/www/html and not /usr/local/apache2/htdocs.
I did service http fullstatus and it showed Apache 2.0.52 !

How come its not showing 2.2.2 even after running httpd in /usr/local/apache2/bin ?

I dont want to delete Apache 2.0.52 folder and files but want the service stopped or removed from startup and replace it with the new one located at /usr/local/apache2.

What should I be doing to get this work ?

Thanks

try ./apachectl and ./httpd. The current folder is not in the default path in linux. So if you just type apachectl, it will use the one it finds in the path (type which apachectl to find out which one).

Oh...right ! How could I've missed this one ! Even though Im not using the linux machine now, Im sure this was the problem. Will let you know how it went once I sit at the linux machine.

Where can I change the default path for apache ?

Thanks

  1. You can add the /usr/local/apache2/bin folder in front of your PATH.
  2. You can symlink apachectl and httpd in /usr/local/bin and make sure this directory is listed first in your PATH
  3. You can (re)install apache2 in a place already in your PATH
  4. You can as well just forget about PATH and have a script in /etc/init.d/ that will launch the correct version where it is currently installed.
