Syntax checking an alternate configuration file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I want to syntax check an alternate configuration file in Apache 2.4 but I have hit a snag, “apachectl –t –f {full path name}” and “apachectl –f {full path name} configtest” give me an extra message which I don’t need and don’t want to see. I looked at the shell script that is apachectl and it looks like someone got lazy and if there is  a second argument it will always print the warning message. It may be a “feature” but it is a damn annoying one. Because I’m using RHEL I don’t want to just comment out the test in apachectl but I’m not sure it is a reportable bug. Opinions?

 

[root@host build_conf]# apachectl -t -f /etc/httpd/build_conf/httpd.conf

Passing arguments to httpd using apachectl is no longer supported.

You can only start/stop/restart httpd using this script.

If you want to pass extra arguments to httpd, edit the

/etc/sysconfig/httpd config file.

httpd: “Here is the error message I am looking for”

[root@host build_conf]#
