i installed the binary of apache 1.3, then compiled it make'd it and installed it also edited the httpd.conf file, and when i try to start it using /var/lib/apache/bin/apachect1 start i get "bash: /var/lib/apache/bin/apachect1: no such file or directory" i also tried /var/lib/apache/bin/apachect1 start -k start, and get the same results. i checked the dir to make sure apachect1 is there and it is. what im i doing wrong???? is there something im missing???? whats the deal???? can anyone help me????
i will be forever in debt to you if you can!!!!

thanks in advance for any help!!!

try

apachectl start

or

/var/lib/apache/bin/apachectl start

if still nothing, try searching for file 'apachectl'.

If still doesnt work then try installing apache2, i found it easier to install , maybe you just did something wrong during the installation.
You coould also try building it from source.
Good luck!

well if you had to compile it, it probably wasn't a binary that you downloaded. did you get this "package" from apache.org? if so, my guess is that it's probably in /usr/local . anyway a quick:

locate httpd
or
locate apachectl

will tell you where it is.

YOU ARE THE MAN BRO!!!! i feel like a idiot now, i can belive i didnt try that!! im forever in debt, man, thanks!!!! l 1 all looked the some after looking at if for so long..... and thanks for being quick on the reply!!

again thank you!!!
