If this is a build from a tar.gz source file do this.
ln -s /path/to/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
this puts a sym link in the init.d directory.
add these lines to the apachectl file:
chkconfig: 2345 10 90
description: starts stops apache
do this just below the #!/bin/sh line.
run:
/sbin/chkconfig --del httpd
/sbin/chkconfig --add httpd
Now apache (httpd) will start at boot. You can start and stop apache while your
messing around with it by going to /etc/rc.d/init.d and running:
./httpd stop|start|restart
If this is a RPM install, all the files are in the correct places and you just
need to set it up to start at boot. A good tool for this is ntsysv. Run it as
root, it's simple to figure out.
