<P><FONT SIZE=2>Phillip,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You didn't mention specific OS you're on but I'm guessing maybe Red Hat? I don't have a Red Hat box handy to check these commands so I'm doing it from memory, so ***please check the syntax before taking my advice***.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It appears you've got Apache installed in two places, one via RPM and the other manually. The server root for the Red Hat RPM version is '/var/www' and it's got a startup script defined in '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd' (I think). You can probably change the references in that file, after making a backup of course, to point to the '/usr/local/apache' installation. After that you can start Apache (as root) by typing 'service httpd start'.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The service may already be set up to start automatically. You can check for that by running (as root) 'chkconfig --list'. That will show you the run levels the service gets started on. The line for 'httpd' may look something like this:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> httpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You can turn it on for runlevels 3, 4 and 5 by typing 'chkconfig --level 345 httpd on'. You may be able to just type 'chkconfig httpd on'. Please check the syntax before trying it. Red Hat has (or used to) a graphical runlevel editor that might be easier.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If none of this makes any sense to you don't do anything until you've done some research via Google or your OS Vendor's site. Or maybe you can just throw caution to the wind and do it anyway, you do have backups, right?</FONT></P>
