Using FreeBSD 4.10 release and confused about what to do with the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh when installing the port. The package on another machine works fine b/c it just has options to start and stop in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh.
The newer ports are using an rc subroutine (referenced in the script as
rc.subr), which allows for easier enabling/disabling of services via
/etc/rc.conf
The port however has a totally different file asking to:
# Define these apache_* variables in one of these files:
# /etc/rc.conf
# /etc/rc.conf.local
# /etc/rc.conf.d/apache
#
# DO NOT CHANGE THESE DEFAULT VALUES HERE
apache_enable=${apache_enable-"NO"}
apache_flags=$(apache_flags-""}
apache_pidfile=${apache_pidfile-"/var/run/httpd.pid"}
I do not have rc.conf. What's the preferred way of starting apache on boot. Why not just do it the same way as the package?
You really should have an /etc/rc.conf -- have you tried:
cat /etc/rc.conf
At a command line? All you have to do is add:
apache_enable=YES
to the end of the file (/etc/rc.conf) and you can then do:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start
And that will work. Hope this helps!
Best,
Glenn
