Apache: error reading information on service httpd: No such file or directory

Question

I compiled and installed Apache from source code on Amazon EC2 running Amazon Linux Distribute. After installation, I issue the following command:

$ sudo chkconfig --add httpd

I get the error:

error reading information on service httpd: No such file or directory

How could I fix it?

Solution

Locate your Apache with locate command.Also check restarting the Apache and check if its show you in process-list also check httpd -S command.

You can try this alternative:

Add to your script these lines:

#chkconfig: 345 80 20 
#description: example script

345 - levels 80 - start priority 20 - stop priority

These are example values, you can change them.

Add your script with command: chkconfig --add
