Net :: Getting Apache to Start automatically

I have found apache in the mydsl net download area and have installed it. Upon reboot, the server doesn't restart, even though it was running before reboot. I have used the "top" command in order to see what is running, and there are no httpd services running until I manually go to DSL|myDSL|Apache-2.0.54|start. I assume that I could issue a start service command within .xinitrc from the /ramdisk/home/dsl folder, but haven't been able to find what command should be issued. Any ideas?

For your information, I am running a Gateway P5-120 120MHz machine with 48 MB ram and hda1 with 300 MB holding the source files, hda2 at about 2.2 GB, and hda3 at about 700 MB allowing swapping. I have a Frugal install with Grub as the boot loader.

You just have to look in /.fluxbox/mydsl.menu for the command. It should be ->
sudo /opt/wwwroot/bin/apachectl start

So try adding that to .xinitrc under torsmo if you want it to start no matter what desktop you use.

Thanks for pointing out the mydsl.menu! That really helps. Here is the line I added:

sudo /opt/wwwroot/bin/apachectl start &

I don't know exactly what "&" does, but it seemed important.

I rebooted and it seems to be working now. Thanks kerry!
