Setup access privileges

Don’t forget to setup Apache access privileges to your www directories:

1	chown -R apache2:www <em>/foo/path_to_your_www_documents_root</em>

2	chmod -R 750 <em>/foo/path_to_your_www_documents_root</em>

“apache2″ and “www” are the user and user group I have previously created (see Prerequisites)

Start and stop apache server

After everything is set up, start Apache:

1	/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

Similarly, if you wish to stop Apache, type:

1	/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop

Automatic startup

It’s a good idea to let your Apache server start automatically after each system reboot. To setup Apache automatic startup, do:

1	cp /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl /etc/init.d

2	chmod 755 /etc/init.d/apachectl

3	chkconfig --add apachectl

4	chkconfig --level 35 apachectl on
