Hey mike,

Forget about the warning message I mentioned in my previous mail, I solved it by following steps as Aparna suggested me to set the ServerName section.

But I still have that last question about starting the server without specifying httpd.conf file path.

Hello Padmahas,

It looks like your two installations of Apache httpd 2.4 are conflicting with each other.
If I understand correctly, you first installed into /user and then into /usr/local/apache2.
Then you tried to remove the /user installation by deleting files manually.
(As you've seen, /user is not a good choice, because this is used for many other things as well.)
It would probably help to do a fresh installation.
But let's try a few things first.

When tried " sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start "
It gave " httpd: Could not open configuration file /usr/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory ".
You are probably wanting to use /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf instead.

What results do you get from sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -V   ?
Look inside /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl 
What is the variable HTTPD set to?
You could try using sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
to override the config file location.

See the following links for further options on the apachectl or httpd commands:
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/apachectl.html
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/httpd.html

Thanks,

Mike Rumph

If anyone finds this as a big question please let me know. I'll precise my problem.

Steps I followed:


I installed apr and apr-utils package in the path "/usr" using the --prefix option.

Both were installed successfully. Hence I installed apache 2.4 to the same path ("/usr") using --prefix option while running "./configure" .

Later I came to know if prefix is not mentioned for apache2.4 installation, it will be installed inside /usr/local/apache2 by default.

Hence I again installed without specifying --prefix option which does installed the apache2 into /usr/local/apache2.

Now I cd to /usr/local/apache2/bin and run sudo apachectl -k start and the apache server was started successfully. Only later I came to know the server is running from the /usr files  installed at first time.

Instead of having 2 installations I thought of removing the one installed inside /usr and deleted all files manually and carefully from all sub folders of /usr.

Now when I run the server from /usr/local/apache2 using " sudo apachectl -k start " it says sudo: apachectl: command not found

So I supplied full path using " sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start "

But its giving " httpd: Could not open configuration file /usr/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory ".

Thank you.
