Re: starting apche service on start up

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

I really think, that you /etc/rc.conf have.

just type: echo apache_eneble=YES  /etc/rc.conf
and then /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start

this should works.

Thanks all!  I added apache_enable=YES to the file and all is well.  I was 
expecting rc.conf to be in /usr/local/etc instead.
