How do I restart Apache?

360 · 08-23-2001, 12:40 AM

I'm working on a new server where the Apahce files are in a different directory than my old server.
I use to be able to restart apache with:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apchectl restart

Apache conf file is located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Sever root is /etc/httpd instead of /usr/local/apache

Thanks

Well from your post I can't tell if apache won't start because you can't find apachectl or because apachectl kraps out when it can't find the serverroot.

Have a look at the logs and see what's causing the error. Which distro are you using?

Not too sure if server root in /etc/httpd is such a good idea. Nobody goes near my /etc!!! "You grep'd /etc!!! No soup for you!"

You could try

Code:

find / -name apachectl

to see where it lives.

I found the answer.

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart

or

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
