hello,

i type this command: find . -type f -name "apachectl"

but how come it does not return me anything ???

have been searching for this file on my server ... but still could not find it ...

anybody knows what happenned ???

thanks

how about:

find / | grep apachectl

If you never find it, then get the binary from apache.org. Otherwise compile your own.

Some binary distributions of Apache don't ship with apachectl, but instead they use their own customized script.

binary of what? the actual file?
i hope you're not talking about the actual file 'apachectl'

are you doing this as root? If not - you should be

try "find / -name apachectl"

it *might* be in /sbin or /usr/sbin ... also a simple...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart would probly work

or in /usr/local/sbin (freeBSD - I did not note a mention of which *nix is being run)

/usr/local/apache/bin
