Here is the full explanation I can give you, we need multiple instances of apache on a server, without using "virtual servers." So what I have done is created different httpd.conf (with other trimmings in /tools/httpd/<server-application-name. I have given them there own startup scrips that call apachetcl -f <path-to-httpd.conf> -k start This all works fine and dandy expect, when we add something like siteminder into the mix and need to use /usr/sbin/envvars. The SA's don't want us to be able to edit that file. So what I have done was created a /etc/sysconfig/siteminder and /etc/init.d/httpd-server-app-name(cp of httpd) except edited that to use /etc/sysconfig/siteminder if it is there. I have been sucsessful at starting it with adding -f <path-to-conf> after httpd=${HTTPD-/usr/sbin/httpd.worker} or in the start section start() { echo -n $"Starting $prog: " check13 || exit 1 daemon $httpd -f /tools/httpd/dvmk0023-Z5S-Secure/conf/httpd.conf Which works, but stopping it is another story, it will hang and other things that don't seem to be working correctly. Maybe someone has a suggestion on a way the stop section should look? This info might help conf=/tools/httpd/dvmk0023-Z5S-Secure/conf/httpd.conf pid=/tools/httpd/dvmk0023-Z5S-Secure/run/httpd.pid Thank you, --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
