how do I shutdown httpd after i started it? under slackware
 

anyone now what is the input?
i read on apache.org
it says i have to
kill -TERM cat /usr/log/httpd.pid
but i can't find httpd.pid under log, but i can find it under /var/run
so what can I do to kill everything relate to httpd

you can

killall httpd

OR

/path/to/httpd stop.

type this in the terminal

Now here I'm assuming you don't have slack set up to start apache at boot. If you did, you would not need the sh as the script would be executable.

I use the command(as root):-
# apachectl stop

to stop httpd

and to start it again

# apachectl start
