Apache startup

[Neerav Kothari]

Hi,
What's the best way for me to make apache start on boot up? Thanks.

Document ID A3937045 will tell you how to do it. Grab it from the ITRC.

Create a script that will reside in the rc#.d directories. Has an /sbin/init.d with a link to the /etc/rc.config.d/. The document that is referred to is a good resource.

I have included my apache startup script (It also includes the mysql startup so if you dont need this please delete the lines out)

Place this file in /sbin/init.d
make soft links in /sbin/rc3.d/S940apache
make soft links in /sbin/r2.d/K940apache
both pointing to /sbin/init.d/apache

Also create a file in /etc.rc.config.d
called "apache" and have the following lines in it

APACHE_MSQL_START=1;
