apache auto start

淡淡回忆

If you compile your own apache form source,your apache will not auto start during boot time.
　　To enable auto start apache during boot time,you need to do sme configuration on rc.d directory.
　　Follow the steps below and apache will auto start during boot time;
　　>> GO to init.d folder

cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
　　>> Create httpd script

 
vi httpd
　　>> Copy and paste the code below and save the file (content below is for user who install their  apache at /usr/loacl/apache)

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for the Apache Web Server
#
# chkconfig: 345 85 15
# description: Apache is a World Wide Web server. It is used to serve \
# HTML files and CGI.
# processname: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
# pidfile: /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid
# config: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# See how we were called.

exit 1
esac
exit 0
　　>>allow httpd script to be executable

chmod 744 httpd
　　>>Now you need to test if this apache start up script is good,type

./httpd start
　　in your shell to run the apache start up script
　　>>If you exectuable the apache start up script with no error then you can continue with the next steps.
　　>>Create symbolic link at /etc/rc.d/rc3.d folder with name S80httpd than link to /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

 
cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
ln -s ../init.d/httpd S80httpd
　　>>Your server now is ready to start apache during boot time .Please reboot your server to take immediate effect.
　　>>To check if apache will start up during boot time, type

ps ax | grep httpd
　　at your shell right after you login with a new reboot , if it shows httpd process then you have configured your apache to start during boot time correctly
