Hello Padmahas,
It looks like your two installations of Apache httpd 2.4 are conflicting
with each other.
If I understand correctly, you first installed into /user and then into
/usr/local/apache2.
Then you tried to remove the /user installation by deleting files manually.
(As you've seen, /user is not a good choice, because this is used for
many other things as well.)
It would probably help to do a fresh installation.
But let's try a few things first.
When tried *" sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start "*
It gave " *httpd: Could not open configuration file
/usr/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory ".*
You are probably wanting to use /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf instead.
What results do you get from *sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -V * ?
Look inside */usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl **
*What is the variable HTTPD set to?
You could try using *sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k start
-f**/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
*to override the config file location.
*
*See the following links for further options on the apachectl or httpd
commands:
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/apachectl.html
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/httpd.html
Thanks,
Mike Rumph

*If anyone finds this as a big question please let me know. I'll
precise my problem.
Steps I followed:*
I installed apr and apr-utils package in the path *"/usr"* using the
--prefix option.
Both were installed successfully. Hence I installed apache 2.4 to the
same path ("/usr") using --prefix option while running *"./configure" .
*
*Later I came to know if prefix is not mentioned for apache2.4
installation, it will be installed inside /usr/local/apache2 by default.
*
Hence I again installed without specifying --prefix option which does
installed the apache2 into /usr/local/apache2.
Now I cd to /usr/local/apache2/bin and run *sudo apachectl -k start
*and the apache server was started successfully. *Only later I came to
know the server is running from the /usr files installed at first time.
*
Instead of having 2 installations I thought of removing the one
installed inside /usr and deleted all files manually and carefully
from all sub folders of /usr.
*Now when I run the server from /usr/local/apache2 using "* *sudo
apachectl -k start " *it says *sudo: apachectl: command not found*
So I supplied full path using *" sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl
-k start "*
But its giving " *httpd: Could not open configuration file
/usr/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory ".*
Thank you.
