Hello Padmahas,
Okay. This tells us a few things.
One problem is that the HTTPD_ROOT is set to /usr instead of
/usr/local/apache2.
Other relative paths will be based from here.
Since the SERVER_CONFIG_FILE is set to conf/httpd.conf,
the default config file will be /usr/conf/httpd.conf instead of
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.
The -f switch allowed you to override this.
What steps did you use to install and configure httpd into
/usr/local/apache2?
In your httpd source directory, what are the contents of the config.nice
file?
You could review the following links:
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html#configure
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/configure.html
Take care,
Mike

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)

-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.

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

*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.
