problem starting apache with apachectl

[farley99]

I recomplied php, but I can only start it with /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart not with /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart

When I compiled php, it didnt seem to work with
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs'
but did work ok with
'./configure' '--with-apxs'
I am assuming the second uses /usr/sbin/apxs and not /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs, is that why apachectl wont work?

Why cant I get it to start with apachectl? What is the different between the two apxs's?

Thanks In Advance,
Farley

hi,
httpd is a binary file.
apachectl is a script file, which calls httpd.

take a look in your apachectl

It would seem to me as if you have multiple versions of Apache installed at once.

Yes, I think I have 2 versions, how do i check for this
?

 

[predamarcel]

type the command :
$ which apachectl
this will tell you the absolute path of `apachctl'

open `apachectl' with an editor.

you will see an absolute path to httpd.
chech if this is the same with the output of:
$ which httpd

Yes, they are the same, is that good?

What is the difference between
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs'
and
'./configure' '--with-apxs'

I second that question.

The first specifies an absolute path to where the apxs script resides. The second searches the standard paths for it.
