Configuration Information
The main configuration file is called
httpd.conf. Modify it to run the server as a
dedicated user:
sed -i -e "s%User nobody%User apache%" -e "s%^Group #-1%Group apache%" /etc/apache/httpd.conf
See
for
detailed instructions on customizing your Apache HTTP
server.
To automate the running of Apache, use the following command to
create the init.d script:
cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/apache << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/sysconfig/rc
. $rc_functions
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting Apache daemon..."
/usr/sbin/apachectl -k start
evaluate_retval
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping Apache daemon..."
/usr/sbin/apachectl -k stop
evaluate_retval
;;
restart)
echo "Restarting Apache daemon..."
/usr/sbin/apachectl -k restart
evaluate_retval
;;
status)
statusproc /usr/sbin/httpd
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
