Perform a search for the old httpd path. If you use nano/pico to edit the file, then press Ctrl+W to perform a word search. In short, if the path to the old httpd was /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd, then find all of the times that string appears in the file and change it to the one you want. Now, you can't set it to apachectl, but that's fine. /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf Assuming that's the correct path, you can use that line to start Apache, for example. But a simple changing of paths in the init.d file should do the trick.. Sorry if this wasn't clear, I just woke up and am still orienting. -Graham -----Original Message----- From: Roger <roger@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subj: Re: [users@httpd] Two versions of Apache Date: Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:06 am Size: 2K To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, gfrank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks again, but what do i edit in that httpd file On Mon, 2006-03-13 at 02:39 -0600, Graham Frank wrote: 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.
