I'm having trouble restarting apache. For some reason
I get a 'command not found' error when I do the following:

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

Can anyone help me with this?

I got it to work but I had to be at the root directory to issue the command.

WORKED:
[root /]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
[root /]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

ERROR:
[root init.d]# httpd stop
[root init.d]# httpd start

Before I'd cd into the init.d directory and try to issue the command and it didn't work. Technically, what is the difference? Why would one way work and not another?

ERROR:
[root init.d]# httpd stop
[root init.d]# httpd start

If you entered "./httpd stop¦start", it would have worked.

The problem is that, although you are in the correct directory, this dir isn't in the default path, so the shell doesn't find the init-scripts but rather the httpd binary in "/usr/sbin/"


hope that helped

The reason you got the error was because you need a "./" in front of httpd. If you do not have that, it doesn't know where to find "httpd", so it looks in your $PATH. If it doesn't find it there, it errors out. Putting the "./httpd" tells it to look in the current directory. :)

Great...

Thanks a lot for the help. Much Appreciated!;)

LOL. You beat me to it Marc. :)

I'm trying hard, you know ;)
