service: command not found
 
I did service httpd status to check if I need to install Apache or not. I got this :
Code:
username@server [/]# service httpd status
-bash: service: command not found
username@server [/]#
How can there be no service on FC2 ? Im on SSH to a virtual dedicated server.

Try

Code:
username@server [/]# /sbin/service httpd status

Simple you used 'su' and not 'su -'....... please read 'man su' without the single quotemarks for the details.

When you use 'su' you inherit the users pathing, using 'su -' gives you (root) root's pathing. Try; /sbin/service httpd status
