Re: Tiger software update replaces apachectl

by Matthew Hippely :: Rate this Message:

If you are comfortable with the command line, all you need to do is to link to the installation of apache that you want to control from the preferance panes.

$cd /usr/sbin
$mv apachectl apachectl1-3
$ln -s /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl apachectl

when you list the directory it should give you something like this:
...
apachectl -> /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl
...

and you should now be able to control macports apache2 from you preference pane.

John,

I know about assuming, but I'll still assume that you fixed this somehow
(like re-copied apachectl to /usr/sbin).

Are there other steps to making Personal Web Sharing run Apache2? If
so, could you please detail them for those of us who just can't remember
anything?
