I installed Apache using this script https://gist.github.com/Benedikt1992/e88c2114fee15422a4eb

The system is a freshly installed CentOS 6.7 minimal system.

After installation I can find the apache in /usr/local/apache2/ but I can't start the apache with service or enable start on boot with chkconfig. What am I missing?

    Is there a problem with CentOS packages? – Braiam Aug 25 '15 at 16:39
  • There is no Apache 2.4 in the default packages. With EPEL (unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138899/…) it is not compiled with --enable-so – Benedikt Bock Aug 25 '15 at 16:53
  • Did it not install an init script? – Jeff Schaller♦ Aug 25 '15 at 16:56
  • within /etc/init.d is no init script for apache (or httpd) – Benedikt Bock Aug 25 '15 at 16:58
  • and on /usr/local/etc? – Braiam Aug 25 '15 at 17:01

Usually when I install apache on centOS, it gets installed in /etc/httpd/conf/ check there, otherwise do a find / -name httpd or find / -name apache. Also, if I want to start it now you start/stop it with sudo systemctl httpd start/stop or httpd -k start or apachectl start

  • with apachectl I can start the server. Nevertheless I can't use chkconfig or service – Benedikt Bock Aug 25 '15 at 21:04
  • well, you don't need chkconfig or service because they are deprecated now. You should use systemctl instead. – VaTo Aug 25 '15 at 21:07

Apache 2.4 doesn't use the init scripts. As Saul Ortega said the apachectl script can be used to start the server. It can also be used as a standard SysV init script. Further informations can be found in the apache doc http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/invoking.html
