Stopping Apache

To just stop Apache for the current boot:

/(your Apache directory)/bin/apachectl stop

If you want to stop Apache loading at boot, you'll want to go through your startup scripts and disable it that way. I'm not sure offhand what SuSE 6.2 uses, sorry.

Good luck.

If Suse supports chkconfig as Red Hat does you can read my writeup at https://www.techrepublic.com/forumdiscuss/thread_detail.jhtml?thread_id=107315&message_id=643075. This is the easiest way to configure services on and off on systems that have the utility.

First find where is start file for http daemon.
Type
grep httpd /etc/rc.d/rc*.d/S*
press enter.

Now u can see where is the httpd start file located.
Let say it is located in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/
Type
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd stop
press enter

Further to answer 3, change the name of the link (File) in the startup directory so that it starts with a lower case s. This will stop it being called as the machine comes up through its run levels. Then you won't have to stop it manually

Hi,

you can use yast or you can change the setting of
START_HTTPD to NO in the file /etc/rc.config.

if you prefer to use yast follow these steps:

start yast, go to system administration, than go to
change configuratin file and look for the variable
START_HTTPD, change from aes to no, that's it.

now you can boot your linux box without starting apache.

by the way, things have been changed in
suse 7.3/8.0.

good luck and have fun
