Apache start up after reboot

[Matthew Pegge_1]

How do I ensure that apache gets started automatically after reboot.

[Ross Zubritski]

Set apache_start=1 in /etc/rc.config.d/apacheconf.

Hi,

You need to createn copy apachectl and place it in /etc/init.d. and create two symbolic links to this script. One to start /etc/rc3.d/S...
and one to stop /etc/rc1.d/K.... apache.

Vri- I think you are thinking solaris. In HP-UX, the apachectl script would go in /sbin/init.d.

Ross,

Your absolutely right! /sbin/init.d it is.

[Steven E. Protter]

If you have done a manual compile or installed Oracle's IAS version of apache which isn't smart enough to start itself after install.

Do this.

ln -s /sbin/init.d/apachecontrol /sbin/rc3.d/S800apache

ln -s /sbin/init.d/apachecontrol /sbin/rc2.d/K200apache

The S guy starts apache at run level three and the K guy kills him when the machine drops to run level 2 The numbers are your choice.

/sbin/init.d/apachecontrol is something you need to create. Here is mine, attached. The name is up to you.

So many depots do this automatically, I wonder if doing it manually will become a lost art.

All the above answers are applicable if you are not running apache in SSL mode. If you are running secure server with a passphrase (highly recommended), you will have to start it manually or devise some other way to automate it.

Attached is the doc for startup additions.
If followed, the doc is straight forward.

Our shop has used this for a standard.

Best of Luck.
