I have been trying to figure out a problem and now learned that I needed to recompile apache in order to make it work. I have Apache 2.0.49 compiled without any problems, but when I try to run the new version I still had the old version of apache 2.x.x running...
This is where I'm a bit confused...why didn't the new compile over write the old install? I couldn't figure this out so I compared my two config's for apache
old config location = /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
new config location = /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
Then I did these to stop the old apache and start the new
/usr/sbin/apachectl stop
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
ok...virtual servers seem fine, but now PHP doesn't work. So I guess I need to install that new now?
My main worry is that if I reboot the system the old apache will try and run....where do I make sure that doesn't happen and the new apache run or am I doing something very wrong here?
edit: ok I see what I need to do with the PHP http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php However, I'm still worried with the whole two apache dameons possibly running or the old one running instead of the new.
