Apache Problem

[Brian Witowski]

Ok.  It was the path.  Thanks.

But now I have a different problem.  I like to manage Apache through Webmin.
But when I try to start apache from within the Webmin module, it says
"Failed to Start Apache", but doing ps -ax shows 5 instances of httpd.  In
addition, I can no longer get virtual hosts to work.  I can only get to the
default host.

Does anybody know of any issues with apache 2.x and webmin? (I'm running the
most current webmin).

Using apachectl is the preferred way to start/stop Apache.

If your are in the /usr/local/apache2 directory you have to have the ./
in there so it knows to look in the current directory for the script. If
you are in a directory other than the /usr/local/apache2 directory
apachectl should work if you put /usr/local/apache2 in your path. Or you
can use the full path to apachectl.

If you want to start Apache at boot time stick
/usr/local/apache2/apachectl start in the /etc/rc.local file.

Did you install Apache the first time during the install of the OS?  I
believe when I once used Apache from the default install of the OS it
had the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd and other times when I compiled from
source it didn't.  That was awhile ago and my memory is no good.  YMMV.
