Apache not shutting down
 

when shutting down my machine httpd does not terminate (kill fails). Currently I am only developing the webpage so lots of rebooting into windows so I can use macromedia flash.

I'm just worried that httpd not properly terminating could cause some faults so anyone got a fix for this???

How are you shutting Apache down?

Is it with:

#apachectl stop

i'm not manually shutting it down, its failing on shutting the entire machine down.

With some Apache's it will shutdown automatically when you shutdown the machine, usually the ones that come pre-installed do it like that.

But if that is not the case....


Have you checked if your rc scripts are configured/set to do that?


If not, just chug it in there, and it WILL shutdown properly.

if you installed apache using rpm's or from the cd then there should be a script which should do it. if you did it form sources then you need to put the command 'apachectl stop' with the correct path in a executable script and then make link to that script in '/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/' directory
