Hello mike,
Yes you are write I installed server first inside /usr and then inside
/usr/local/apache2 (installed by default when I used ./configure without
--prefix option). Even you are right about my manual un installation.
About the command you suggested with -V option, this is the result.
Server version: Apache/2.4.12 (Unix)
Server built: Mar 31 2015 16:20:21
Server's Module Magic Number: 20120211:41
Server loaded: APR 1.5.1, APR-UTIL 1.5.4
Compiled using: APR 1.5.1, APR-UTIL 1.5.4
Architecture: 64-bit
Server MPM: event
threaded: yes (fixed thread count)
forked: yes (variable process count)
Server compiled with....
-D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
-D APR_HAS_MMAP
-D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
-D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
-D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
-D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
-D DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=256
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr"
-D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/bin/suexec"
-D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="logs/httpd.pid"
-D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status"
-D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
-D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"
I looked inside /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl, the HTTPD var set to
*HTTPD='/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd'*
In parallel I also looked inside /usr/bin/apacheclt, there the HTTPD var
set to
HTTPD='/usr/bin/httpd'. So I assume both of them pointing to their
respective directories.
I tried the second command you suggested
*sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start -f*
* /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf *
Good news The server started with usual warning message but Yes!!! it is
using the httpd.conf file which resides inside
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.
The message it always show is,
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to
suppress this message
*Now is there any way I can set apache to look inside *
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
* by default, by forgetting the first installation inside /usr? Or should
I always specify the httpd.conf path as you suggested?*
Thank you for the documentation links, I'm referring those links now.
