Hi

I have the same problem...

None of this ways to know the apache versions seems to work using putty in my site...

any new options...?

thanks in advance

What version of Linux are you using?

What is the output of the command:

# which httpd

This is what i obtain when i make a "which httpd"

/usr/bin/which: no httpd in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin :/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_07/bin:/root/bin)


I don't know exactly which version of linux i'm runing (could you tell me the command to check it?), but i think is a Red Hat.


I start the server using:

/etc/init.d/service httpd start

becouse i can't call directly the httpd without using "service" first. I suppose this is normal... but if i do this way the only options it gives me is start, stop, restart and so... no "-v" option available

I'm a bit lost in this point. All help will be wellcomed!

Thanks

RunThis will show you the path to the httpd executable. Then chnge to that directory and run:
If locate does not work you can use: but it takes more time.

Great!!! It Works!

Thanks a lot, bathory!


Now i have a little question dued to this...

I have found that i have 2 httpd files in my system:

./etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
./usr/local/apache/bin/httpd


If i do the "./httpd -v" command with the one in "usr/local/apache/bin/", it gives me the version of apache

(1.3.33)

But if i try to make the same with the one in "/etc/rc.d/init.d/", it gives me the folloeing message:

"Utilisation : httpd {start|stop|restart|reload|condrestart|status}"

It seems as if they were different kind of files (sorry if i'm saying stupid things, but i am really newwee)


I have read in some places that the way of start Apache is as a daemon, using "service httpd start", and i can do that with my httpd in "/etc/rc.d/init.d/" but not with the other.

With the one in ""usr/local/apache/bin/", it is supposed i can do something like "./apachectl start"


Which is supossed i should do, and which are the diferences between this files that has the same name?


Thanks a lot
