bin/apachectl is meant to handle the default httpd installation. It will use the system default conf files. You could modify the apachectl in your personal installation and call that instead. man apachectl will tell you what to do. You should be able to stop the default httpd instance with: sudo bin/apachectl -k stop to get rid of the occupied port 80. > But when I type http://localhost or http://localhost:8080 in my > browser, I still get the 403:Forbidden> If I type http://example.com:8080 > in my browser (because of the line > ServerName www.example.com:8080 in my httpd.conf), it gets stuck (the > loading takes forever, and the browser eventually gives up with a "too > long to respond" message). The ServerName directive does not magically create a DNS record. www.example.com is an example domain, it listens on port 80, and index.html works fine on it. Today, it resolves to IP addresses: $ nslookup www.example.com Name: www.example.com Address 1: 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946 Address 2: 93.184.216.34 You can override the address by adding an entry to /etc/hosts . -- Regards, Kees Nuyt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
