I installed the latest version - 2.2.21. I am able to start up Apache using the following commands and I get the "it works" on my browser when I type http://localhost. There is no message to say Apache has started when I type the ./apachectl start command though. # cd /usr/local/apache2/bin # ./apachectl start For starters I did not have the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd file so I added the following script #!/bin/bash apachectl=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl httpd=${HTTPD-/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd} chmod 775 Now when I try to start httpd automatically I get the following error. [root@localhost ~]# service httpd start httpd: unrecognized service Hi,

This is an excellent tutorial but unfortunately I have run into some issues. I installed the latest version – 2.2.21.
I am able to start up Apache using the following commands and I get the “it works” on my browser when I type http://localhost. There is no message to say Apache has started when I type the ./apachectl start command though.

# cd /usr/local/apache2/bin
# ./apachectl start

For starters I did not have the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd file so I added the following script

#!/bin/bash
apachectl=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl
httpd=${HTTPD-/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd}
chmod 775

Now when I try to start httpd automatically I get the following error.

[root@localhost ~]# service httpd start
httpd: unrecognized service
