Re: Newbie question about apache
Userland startup scripts (ie: the ones created by the admin) go in: /usr/local/etc/rc.d Create a shell script, for this example: apache.sh and then chmod 755 it. Note: The files HAVE to be called something.sh and they HAVE to be chmod 755 otherwise they don't work. Note: Use the apachectl script to start and stop apache. Just had a thought.. I haven't used Apache 2 yet..so don't know if this will work..but I do the below for Apache 1.3 ... so it should be something similar In the file do something like this: START SCRIPT EXAMPLE #!/bin/sh #Script for starting and stapping apache #Grab our command mode=$1# start or stop case $mode in 'start') # Start daemon /path/to/apachectlscript/apachectl start ;; 'stop') #Stop daemon /path/to/apachectlscript/apachectl stop ;; *) # usage echo usage: $0 start|stop exit 1 ;; esac END SCRIPT EXAMPLE Hope that helps :) Henrik On Thursday 25 July 2002 03:27, Erik Mattsson wrote: Hi I've just installed the apache2 from /usr/ports/www, and I want this to run everytime when I reboot the machine.

How do I do it? i don't know about apache2, but daemons installed from ports put their startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. take a look. second guess would be /usr/local/share/examples/. Ive also installed tomcat4.0 and want it to run at boot time as well, BUT how do i force it to run as the www user? i don't know tomcat, but wouldn't that be similar? -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 10:39AM up 8 days, 20:58, 11 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
