Re: Apache and systemd

[David Copeland <david.copeland@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

To have Apache start on boot do: systemctl enable apache2

Then a systemctl status apache2 yields something like :

dbc:~ # systemctl status apache2
● apache2.service - The Apache Webserver
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2020-06-16 07:33:57 EDT; 2 days ago
..... more stuff omitted ....

Note the "enabled".

Dave.

On OpenSuse, I use

systemctl <command> apache2

where <command> is start, stop, status, reload, or whatever (do a "man systemctl")

Thanks, Dave.

But do you add the appropriate systemd files to enable auto start and shutdown of httpd upon reboot?

Manual use is pretty straight forward, but, for me, the service file syntax is not so clear. I'm afraid of getting locked out without easy hands-on access to my remote servers.

Cheers,

-Tom
