I have made a modification to apachectl shipped with 2.0 that creates the path to the configuration file dynamically based on the location of apachectl. Then I make symbolic links to apachectl from the bin directory of each instance. That bin directory contains only the symbolic link and an envvars file specific to that instance so I can set environment parameters per-instance.
I also made some other changes that may not be to everybody's liking. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to mail it. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Slive [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 5:13 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Multiple apache instances On 8/16/05, Spike Burkhardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Joshua & all, > > When I specified the configuration file the instance I wanted to > kill still didn't stop.

For your version, you need to use the other technique I mentioned (killing the process listed in the pid file). If you open up apachectl in an editor, you'll note that this is exactly what it is doing. But it has a hard-coded path to the config file for your first server. You could easily edit apachectl to make a "stop2" option which would get the pid from the appropriate file for the second server. This is, by the way, documented at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/stopping.html Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
