Stop Any Running Web Server Processes

Before you begin the installation process, if you are running any Web server on your system, you must stop the server process before installing the Red Hat Linux Apache/SSL Server. If you are running an Apache Web server, stop the server process by issuing the appropriate command or commands, as root, from the following list:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

If you're running an Apache-based secure Web server, use the first command to stop the server process. If you're running a regular (non-secure) Apache Web server, use the second command. If you're running both, use both commands.

If you have another version of Apache installed and you customized its configuration files, its configuration files will be saved in their directory with an extension of .rpmsave during the installation of the Red Hat Linux Apache/SSL Server. If you had another version of Apache installed but you never customized its configuration files, they will be written over during the installation of this product.
