How to make apache 1.3 automatically start at boot?
hey all..
sorry if this question has been repeated over and over, but how do i get my apache server on knoppix 3.6 to start automatically when i boot up my machine?
i know knoppix comes with it pre-installed, but i uninstalled it using apt get remove apache as a book i had told me to reinstall it myself.. hmm bad idea? so i went to use apt get install apache and it said its not tehre... so i downloaded the source file and compiled it/installed it again
and now its running.. but i have to start it manually.. how do i make apache just start when i boot up? im guessing it would have to do with some kind of init or rc.d file or something?

You have several options, but the one I recommend is putting an S* link (start file) in the
/etc/rc#.d/
directory. The # is for the run level that you have your system start from in inittab.
The S* file, mean S55apache (for example). The number after the S is the order where you want the apache server to start. You will need to place it after networking.
You can create a script to start it, or probably get away with a softlink to the executable with the start option.
Good luck.

The above can easily be accomplished with "sudo update-rc.d apache defaults". KDE also has a graphical tool '"SysV init" or somesuch) which allows you to control which services are started at bootup.

i used tge "sudo update-rc.d apache defaults" method outlined below to get my apache 1.3 to boot (on knoppix 3.4), but i get an error at boot saying that DocumentRoot must be a directory. The document root is currently set to "/mnt/hdb1/serveroot," which is a valid directory on, as one might deduce, another disk. how do i fix this?

You need to mount /dev/hdb1 first before you run apache.
You might want to enable automount for your system.

Hi all,
I've got apache to start at boot, with automount set up as well, but when apache tries to load, i get the following error:
[warn] module ssl_module is already loaded, skipping
...and then it dies. I also get the same error message if i try to start apache via Konsole. Any ideas? Is there something I can do in some other boot file to get ssl_module NOT to load? Or maybe this error was fixed in apache 2.0?
