Hi I have just installed Apache 2 on SuSE 9. Just need a bit of help on how to set up my runlevels. Apache installed to /usr/local/apache/ How do I set things up so that apache starts automatically? How do I set things up so that I don't have to type the whole path (/usr/local/apache/bin/....) to control apache2? Sorry if these are basic questions. I have googled, but info is overwhelming and confusing. Brenton
Do you have an init script for Apache in /etc/init.d (e.g. /etc/init.d/apache)? If not, create one (like this; you need to adjust the paths in it!): Code: #!/bin/sh case "$1" in start) /usr/sbin/apachectl startssl ;; stop) /usr/sbin/apachectl stop ;; restart) $0 stop && sleep 3 $0 start ;; reload) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload}" exit 1 esac Then make it executable: Code: chmod 755 /etc/init.d/apache The command Code: chkconfig --levels 235 apache on will make your Apache start at boot time (in the run levels 2, 3, and 5).
