Apache httpd
 

So I'm running on slack 12, and it came with an install of apache httpd server .4 I think, I didn't know this, and installed .6. Now I have multiple installs looking at different config files, and I tried disabling the .4 that came with slack, but it's still not working and this is what my services look like:

root@fal:~# ps -A | grep httpd
3229 ? 00:00:00 httpd
3230 ? 00:00:00 httpd
3231 ? 00:00:00 httpd
3232 ? 00:00:00 httpd
3233 ? 00:00:00 httpd
3234 ? 00:00:00 httpd
root@fal:~#

I don't care about the installations, is there a way to just remove everything associated with apache? I'd like to just reinstall it from scratch and start again.

What you see is different processes, not different installations. If I look at the process numbers, they are all consecutive, so it is very likely that this is just one Apache version which has been started. It is perfectly normal that Apache forks 6 processes, that is the way Apache works to handle multiple http requests at the same time.

I dunno how Slack's installation process works, but it might be that older verison are simply have been removed or are not started.

Well I know for a fact there's 2 installations. When I try to edit my httpd.conf file in /home/httpd/conf, it doesn't really work.

I may have gotten it working :cool:

It is good practice on this forum to tell what was wrong and how you got ot working. That helps other users as well.
