What you're missing, is that apachectl uses start, stop, etc to control the httpd server as it always has. This is NOT an init.d script, it's virtually the same apachectl they have been using for years.
When S85httpd gets run by init it gets passed a "start" argument. K15 gets passed a "stop" argument. S = start K = kill Standard rcX.d behavior...

List, I have read the online RHL docs on this...but can't find the answer. Previous to RHL 8 (7.3), I had the following symlinks /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd -> /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K15httpd -> /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl This allowed me to start my custom built instance of Apache, avoiding the RHL default install. Today this setup does not work. NB: /usr/local/apache -> /usr/local/apache-2.0.44 this symlink is intentional for the purpose of rapid apache version switching, if desired. When I do the following: % sudo /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd I get the usage response from httpd: Usage: /usr/local/apache-2.0.44/bin/httpd ... Now, how I understand it the init directories pass start/stop/restart params to the executable in question. If I do the following: % sudo /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd start It works as intended. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for all help! Warmest Regards, Tim -- /** * Timothy Stone .
