Re: Re: Virtual Hosts Problem - option '-S' to verify yourvirtual host configuration

[Sakthi Esakiappan <sakthi.esakiappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

/etc/init.d/httpd is the startup/stop script for http deamon. It can be used to verify the configuration files.

Configuration files can be tested through the following 
/usr/sbin/httpd -S
/usr/sbin/apachectl -S

These 2 are the binaries of the web server. I personally recommend you to use apachectl since it has more options that httpd. Try man apachectl for more information.

This looks debian-ish. Run apache2ctl -S instead.

It returned that usage comment.  Am I missing something here?

/etc/init.d/httpd is not the apache web server, it's some startup script
provided by your distribution.  You probably want to find and run
"apachectl".
