/etc/init.d/httpd & /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

[bk2007]

I used "yum install httpd" to install Apache, I noticed that httpd is now installed in two places:

/etc/init.d/httpd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

Which one is the correct httpd install and what is the difference between the /etc/init.d/ & /etc/rc.d/init.d/ folder.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

As you have used yum it will online install apache. The path /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd is the service path through which you can control the start/stop service , where as the httpd.conf file which is use to configure the apache shud be in /etc/init.d/httpd.

Please check it n reply.

Thx

Hi

Thanks for your reply. The same httpd file is installed in two different locations:

# ls /etc/init.d/httpd -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3201 Jul 14 08:56 /etc/init.d/httpd


# ls /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3201 Jul 14 08:56 /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

I've been using:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
for restarting Apache.

Your help is appreciated.
