How do I invoke second copy of apache when running service httpd start?

Hi all

I'm using the following for my os

[root@localhost htdocs]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

when I execute the following

[root@localhost htdocs]# ls -lrth /etc/init.d/httpd 
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3.3K Feb 22 19:20 /etc/init.d/httpd
[root@localhost htdocs]# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 163 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_ldap.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_ldap.so: undefined symbol: apr_ldap_ssl_init
                                                           [FAILED]

I did another investigation

[root@localhost htdocs]# ls -lrth /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl 
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 oracle oinstall 3.4K Apr 27 09:32 /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl
[root@localhost htdocs]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
[root@localhost htdocs]#

now obviously there's a two copies of apache.

I did another execution

[root@localhost htdocs]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 163 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_ldap.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_ldap.so: undefined symbol: apr_ldap_ssl_init
                                                           [FAILED]
[root@localhost htdocs]#

as you can see obviously the first copy of apache is being executed, so how do I get the second copy of apache to start when I type service httpd starr?

thanks

Use apachectl to start the service; make sure you also use full paths ( /somedir/whatever/apache/bin/apachectl startssl ).

Or you can modify the script at /etc/init.d/httpd and point to the right apachectl file.
