Hi.
You're right, on the face of it it does not seem to make a lot of sense.
You should be able easily to run 2 instances of Apache from the same
binaries.
Indeed, and that is what I do.
I have a default install of apache on my (solaris) system, which I
compiled from source, and afterwards didn't touch. I have it installed
in /opt/apache/httpd-<version>. That way I can even have different
versions of apache on the same machine.
Then I have different instances of webservers in
/opt/webserver/<servername>. Each of these directories has a conf
directory, a log directory and a htdocs directory. I also make a link
here to /opt/apache/httpd-<version>/modules and
/opt/apache/httpd-<version>/bin, so that I can use this dir as a
serverroot. I have a script that uses a servername as argument and
that starts a httpd instance with the correct binary, serverroot and
config. This allows me to start and stop each instance seperately.
Myapache script in /etc/init.d just iterates over the directories in
/opt/webservers and starts (or stops) them.
Hi Krist.
You are right, it is more logical and more elegant than copying the
binaries etc.. but I think the choice also depends on circumstances.
If you have just a few servers of the same type to take care of, then
you can do a nice and elegant job, organise these things once and for
all, and you can remember what you did and how it works.
The circumstances may be different if you have a lot of servers of
different types and have to install a new one every week.
Then you consider a solution that is maybe not so elegant, but gets the
job done, with a minimum of changes to the standard package
installations and updates and startup scripts etc..
I don't know which approach Eric will prefer in the end, but now he has
some elements to decide, and I guess that is what he was looking for.
