Newbie Apache2 command not found

[hannahsh]

I guess this is a linux issue and not just Apache but here goes.

I have uninstalled the RPM version on Apache 1.2.whatever, and then, thinking I was clever (and as advised by all u unix gurus), installed apache 2.0.43 using

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.0.43 --enable-module=so

make, make install

It looked ok during installation but then when I try apachctl start it says
bash: apachectl: command not found

I am logged in as root so I guess there is no permissions issues.

what I done wrong, this time.

 

[hannahsh]

ok I entered

apachectl restart

- now apache runs BUT I have no control and none of the commands work ie start stop restart apachectl or httpd ???

Similarly I cant configure webmin for remote management cos it cant find the path to the exectutables ??

i take it you tried running the apache executable as follows:

./apachectl start

what about

./httpd -k start

hope this helps

Yip your right !

I have moved on a lot since this, found a great site rpmfind.net, not that I use the prm's but the info on dependancies is very usefull, and they have everything on their ftp site.
