Getting Apache to work with service

lukesc · 08-06-2009, 11:30 AM

I have a local server setup with CentOS 5.3 (RedHat flavor) and I've compiled both Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.10 and have them working together on the server.

Apache does not start on boot, and I have to use apachectl to start/stop/restart it. If I were to use yum to install apache, I would have been able to do "service httpd {command}", but since I compiled it myself, it isn't setup for that.

My question is, how do I setup my custom build of Apache to do this?

"Steal" an init script from a standard apache install?

or copy it from here:

and edit accordingly
