Apache startup Question

jester_69 · 05-20-2002, 10:05 PM

I have compiles apache 1.3.24 & all is fine. I am wanting to have this start when Linux start. I had created comments in my rc.local file as below

echo "Starting Apache webserver"
/etc/rc.d/init.d/apache start
echo "Started Successfully"

but it doesnt work at startup. This is a Redhat machine..

Thankyou

Try using the apachectl startup script. It's located in the apache /bin directory.

Then put "/{path to apache}/bin/apachectl start" in your rc.local file.

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
/sbin/chkconfig --level 0126 httpd off

if you don't have httpd in /etc/init.d/httpd then either

cp /usr/local/whatever/apachectrl /etc/init.d/httpd

or

ln -s /usr/local/whatever/apachectrl /etc/init.d/httpd

Thanx for the advice ppl. (David, Rob) As a matter of interest when running the above command i get the following

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
service httpd does not support chkconfig

try running tksysv and add httpd to start in level 3, 4, and 5

did you copy the apachectrl file over?

I did a ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectrl /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
but i'll try this other option tksysv..
