Apache: service httpd does not support chkconfig

As you know, when you installed your Apache service to your Centos/Redhat server manually (make & make install but not yum) and could like to run the service automatically, you should copy the apachectl from the Apache bin folder to /etc/init.d/ folder as named httpd.
Then you might want to set the chkconfig and facing the error as below,

1	service httpd does not support chkconfig

To fix this issue, you may simply add the following line to your file at /etc/init.d/httpd.

 

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

# # Startup script for the Apache Web Server # # chkconfig: - 85 15 # description: Apache is a World Wide Web server. It is used to serve # HTML files and CGI. # processname: httpd # pidfile: /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid # config: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Then you may chkconfig again,

1	chkconfig --level 235 httpd on

And now restart your httpd service.
