Apache Install

JCScoobyRS · 02-28-2003, 04:49 PM

I followed the directions of the Apache Docs online. I have done a default install. I can start and stop the server but before I did a fresh install, I could run:

Code:

/sbin/service httpd start

and I'd get the little [OK] when things went well. How can I reset that up? Thanks, Jeremy

You need to modify your script /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd - change all the pathes to fit your new installation.

JCScoobyRS · 02-28-2003, 04:54 PM

I don't have a file like that. I have a fresh Red Hat install with no previous version of Apache on it. What to do now? Thanks, Jeremy

Look into /etc/rc.d/init.d, browse the files and find the one you find easiest to modify. Change programname to right Apache path and see if it works. After some modifications it will work.

Can I just create a new one? What does yours look like? Thanks, Jeremy

If your just looking for a way to start httpd you can do:

/etc/init.d/httpd start

I don't know if this is what your after but its definetly an alternative.

JCScoobyRS · 02-28-2003, 05:17 PM

There in lies the problem. I don't have a /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd file. I need one. I either need someone to attach theirs or send me the code to create my own. Thanks, Jeremy

In fact you can simply make a symlink. File apachectl (from the same directory httpd is in) can do.
./apachectl start
./apachectl stop
and so on...

I hate to be a burden but I'd really like to have someone's /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd source so that I could do it the old way. I know it seems dumb but once you get used to something, you get used to it. All you have to do is:

Code:

kedit httpd

Copy, paste and BOOM, I'm cooking again. Thanks, Jeremy

Mara · 03-01-2003, 01:59 PM

The thing is that I don't have it. But my boyfriend has a copy of his old one, so I can paste it.

I'm not really sure if it's a good idea. The file is quite long and symlinking apachectl seems to be a beter idea.

But...If you really want it... I hope there are longer posts...

Thanks Mara. I appreciate your help. I think that symlinking is "easier" and it might be my best bet. I do think that I'd like to look at your post so that I can see how I can make Apache a service like the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd file does. With that file, you can also make it where you can open the "Services" tool from the GUI and start and stop it from there. I thank you, Jeremy
