/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd 1

[farley99]

I installed apache from c source, but it didnt create httpd in /etc/rc.d/init.d/

Should I make a symbolic link for httpd to /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl ?

Its there anything i have to do when installed from c source?

Well here is the contents of my /etc/[rc.d]/init.d/httpd

So you could just cut and paste (best check your paths against those below) and then just do a "chkconfig httpd on" to add it to your current runlevel as boot.

echo ${moduleargs}
}

# The semantics of these two functions differ from the way apachectl does
