Check for the file /etc/rc.d./init.d/httpd If it exists, then go ahead and edit it with any text editor and change the httpd path. That way, it will start your custom apache instead of the one which came with your os. -Graham -----Original Message----- From: Roger <roger@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subj: [users@httpd] Two versions of Apache Date: Mon Mar 13, 2006 2:33 am Size: 670 bytes To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I installed Apache 2 on Fedora this Saturday.I have a problem, whenever i restart my machine, it starts up the default httpd service that comes with Fedora, meaning i have two versions running and i have to shut down the default httpd then go to /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start. I find this very cumbersome to do, how can i remove the default httpd so that whenever i start or run Linux, it uses the newer version! --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
