[users@httpd] Syntax checking an alternate configuration file
I want to syntax check an alternate configuration file in Apache 2.4 but I have hit a snag, "apachectl -t -f {full path name}" and "apachectl -f {full path name} configtest" give me an extra message which I don't need and don't want to see. I looked at the shell script that is apachectl and it looks like someone got lazy and if there is a second argument it will always print the warning message. It may be a "feature" but it is a damn annoying one. Because I'm using RHEL I don't want to just comment out the test in apachectl but I'm not sure it is a reportable bug. Opinions?
[root@host build_conf]# apachectl -t -f /etc/httpd/build_conf/httpd.conf
Passing arguments to httpd using apachectl is no longer supported.
You can only start/stop/restart httpd using this script.
If you want to pass extra arguments to httpd, edit the
/etc/sysconfig/httpd config file.
httpd: "Here is the error message I am looking for"
[root@host build_conf]#

You should report this bug in Red Hat Bugilla, as that's where it's
likely to get addressed. Or possibly in Fedora Bugzilla, since that's
the upstream for the packages that land in RHEL. Or perhaps ask Joe
Orton directly. :-)

That is a change RedHat made to the script - it isn't in the regular
distribution.
RedHat explicitly discourages using a non-default-location configuration
file.
