Daft question - how to restart linux apache...

[stevenjohn]

Hi there,

Sorry, I realise this is a pretty dumb question, but how do you restart the apache process on a linux stack installed version.

I've tried:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

apache2 -k restart

and a few others but cant find how to do it... Any ideas?

Thanks, Steve.

use 'sudo <command>'

Hi there,

This is on a standard debian install, sudo doesnt seem to work:

sudo apache2 -k restart
sudo: apache2: command not found

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
No apache MPM package installed

sudo apache2ctl start
/usr/sbin/apache2ctl: line 80: /usr/sbin/apache2: No such file or directory

I've placed the stack installer files into /home instead of /opt, cant see how this would make a difference.

Any other thoughts?

Kind regards, Steve.

Okay, I'm gonna make a very risky observation here: don't use the stack installer in linux!!!

It's way too easy to just do it manually. Save yourself the trouble.

sudo apt-get install php5 mysql5-server apache2 php-curl php-imap

There may be some difference in the exact package name. Please use synaptic or aptitude to find the exact packages. Then, just use the Sugar5 zip from SugarForge.

Try using webmin

Thanks very much for the replies, went down the route of installing standard php/mysql packages which has worked well

Cheers, Steve.

You can also use:

apachectl graceful to restart apache without kicking anyone off.
