First of all... me thinks someone forgot to chmod a+x the script earlier.
Second... there is nothing wrong with the script except that it will *not*
call the httpd binary you want.
The clue is in the lines
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
As you see... a custom path is set within the script. This path is the one
searched for any occurances of httpd binary.
# First set up a default search path.
export PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
The path does *not* contain /usr/local/apache/bin btw... :)
Assuming that the RH's own apache rpm is installed, the httpd binary in
/usr/sbin will be found first. The function daemon() in the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions takes care of starting it up.
Essentially the script relies on searching for an httpd binary within the
path and excuting it.and this happens within /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
which is called by your script. You will have to insert your httpd's
location in the path to make this work, which IMHO is not a good way.
If you really, really need this, the best way is to compile apache
ith --with-layout=RedHat option. This will essentially overwrite the
/usr/sbin binary.
That is what I do in any case.
