Erm... what are you and mukund talking about ? /bin/sh *is* a symbolic link. I would assume he was attempting to see if somehow you managed to delete sh link and copy something else in its place. And I do wonder why he bothered , when I gave a detailed explanation that while you had created the symbolic link to your /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd in /usr/sbin, you had forgotten to remove your modification to the /etc/init.d/httpd script. Ok, I have attatched the default httpd script from one of my servers.(attatchment not being sent to the list tho). Just replace the /etc/init.d/httpd with this instead if you are still unable to understand the explanation. I have assumed that your apache is in /usr/local/apache/ and apache modules are in libexec under the same. httpd.pid file is assumed to be in /usr/local/apache/logs as per default. But do try opening it in vi and figure out what is happening. The simpler way would have been to use the script from http://www.tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/cha p29sec247.html *without* any modifications and recompile the apache as something like this : #./configure --with-layout=RedHat --enable-module=all --enable-shared=max #make #make install (or whatever modules you need, of course) I do not see what you find so complex about these simple instructions.
