[users@httpd] Multiple apache instances
All,
I have two apache instances running. Is there a way to kill just 1
instance? To be more specific, I have 1 startup file with the standard
startup. In the httpd.conf file, it specifies:
PidFile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid
In the second startup file the line that starts the server is:
httpd - f /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd-oracal.conf start
and the PidFile line reads:
PidFile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd-oracal.pid.
Can I tell apache only to stop this instance or should I write a script
to do it?
FYI, I'm running Apache 1.3.31 with mod_perl 1.29, mod_fastcgi 2.4.2,
mod_ssl 2.8.19 and OpenSSL 9.9.7c. This is on Solaris 8.
TIA,
spike

Thanks for all the info Joshua. Seems like I might have a reason to
upgrade to V2 :-)

I didn't notice you were using such an old version. The command I
quoted works in 2.x.
For your version, you need to use the other technique I mentioned
(killing the process listed in the pid file). If you open up
apachectl in an editor, you'll note that this is exactly what it is
doing. But it has a hard-coded path to the config file for your first
server. You could easily edit apachectl to make a "stop2" option
which would get the pid from the appropriate file for the second
server.
This is, by the way, documented at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/stopping.html

Joshua & all,
When I specified the configuration file the instance I wanted to kill
still didn't stop. In fact, it stopped the other instance! Also, at
least on my box, '-k' isn't a valid option. Finally, the error messages
I got was:

Either apachectl -f /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd-oracal.conf -k stop
or just
kill `cat /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd-oracal.pid`

just some tasks to do:
1. cp apachectl apachectl_1
2. vi apachectl_1
change the HTTPD variable with the -f $CONFIGFILE
change the PIDFILE variable to the PidFile in you httpd_1.conf
3. change the PidFile to another File then in you first instanz,
but it must be the same location as in the apachectl_1 file
4. change all other options e. g. DocumentRoot, *Log, ...
5. start you new apache
Hth
al ;-)

Now that I look closer at your original message, I should have been
able to tell that from the paths. As Joshua already said, apachectl
responds to all or nearly all of the same switches that httpd does, so
use the appropriate combination to control the separate instances. My
main point was not to write your own control script when a well-tested
one comes with Apache.

Craig,
thanks for the info. What I did forget to mention is that the
multiple instances are running from the same directory tree.

Each instance should already have its own control script, apachectl,
in the bin directory, with paths specific to that instance.
