linux is the great invention of technology.it is called root of the computing sector.
In
this blog post we are going to discuss on how to run
two Apache instances on single Linux host.
We
already have one Apache installed and serving the static
content. The Apache is installed at the following location:
/etc/httpd
Let`s
copy the directory /etc/httpd to /etc/avon_httpd
cp -pr /etc/httpd /etc/avon_httpd
Now,
as we have copied the old Apache web-server to a new
location /etc/avon_httpd. We need to make the changes to the
configuration file.
cd
/etc/avon_httpd and open the httpd.conf file in a vi editor and make
changes to the following values:
ServerRoot
“/etc/httpd” TO ServerRoot “/etc/avon_httpd”
Listen
80 TO Listen 82
PidFile
run/httpd.pid TO PidFile run/avon_httpd.pid
Save
and close the file.
In
the next step we are going to copy the RHEL httpd configuration file.
cp -pr /etc/sysconfig/httpd /etc/sysconfig/avon_httpd
In
the next step, let`s copy the script /etc/init.d/httpd TO
/etc/init.d/avon_httpd
cp -pr /etc/init.d/httpd /etc/init.d/avon_httpd
In
this step, Link the /usr/sbin/httpd TO /usr/sbin/avon_httpd
ln -s /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/avon_httpd
Open
the file avon_httpd under /etc/sysconfig/ and enter the following
lines:
## CUSTOM SETTINGS ##
HTTPD=/usr/sbin/avon_httpd
OPTIONS="-f /etc/avon_httpd/conf/httpd.conf"
LOCKFILE=/var/lock/subsys/avon_httpd
PIDFILE=/var/run/avon_httpd.pid
Open
the avon_httpd file under /etc/init.d and replace httpd to
avon_httpd.
The
command used to start/stop httpd and avon_httpd service could be:
- /etc/init.d/httpd {start|stop|restart|condrestart|reload|status|fullstatus|graceful|help|configtest}
- /etc/init.d/avon_httpd {start|stop|restart|condrestart|reload|status|fullstatus|graceful|help|configtest}
