Apache doesn't honor existing bootscripts

[Frank Groeneveld]

Binary package hint: apache2

On my desktop system I have installed apache for testing purposes. However, I don't want it to start on boot, so I used update-rc.d to remove the apache service. However, after upgrading apache, these files are always installed again, meaning I have to update-rc.d also.

Which version of apache are you using?

Thanks

Does it matter? I'm using the newest available version on Jaunty, but it has happened to me before on all the older releases, I just didn't take the time to report the bug.

Hi Frank,

Yes it does matter since I would like to reproduce this.

Thanks

Ok, sorry. I'm seeing this behaviour on my Jaunty installation, so
that's Apache version 2.2.11-2ubuntu2
However, this behaviour was also seen on Hardy and Intrepid (by me). I
just didn't report this bug back than.

Thanks,

Frank

Thanks for letting me know, I was wondering how you removed it from booting? Did you remove the script from /etc/init.d? Or the /etc/rc2.d script or used update-rc.d?

Thanks

sorry for the noise answered my own question.

I tried both removing i with update-rc.d and removing it manually from
the rc?.d directories. I didn't see a need for removing the init.d
file.

Chuck,

Personally I run update-rc.d.

Thanks!
