need shell script "httpd" for /etc/rc.d/init.d

[paulcj2]

I installed Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3 over Linux RedHat 7.1 and am now trying to get it to start on boot-up. I understand I need a shell script named httpd in /etc/rc.d/init.d, but have none there. Can anyone give it to me?

Do something like

Bash#: pico /etc/rc.d/init.d

You will see the entries there .. Is httpd in there? If not add it:
httpd

See if that helps.

Test something like this:

ln -s /your/path/to/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc.d/init.d/apachectl
cd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d
ln -s ../init.d/apachectl S20apachectl
ln -s ../init.d/apachectl K20apachectl

Maybe you have to remove old S*httpd and K*httpd symlinks.
