Bug#307701: unable to start apache2 from hand when NO_START=1
Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.54-2
Severity: wishlist
On my system I use thttpd for HTTP server as it fullfill my needs in
normal days. But sometimes I'm working on PHP projects at home so I need
to start Apache2 with PHP support.
I do "sudo /etc/init.d/thttpd stop" to hald thttpd server and I want to
be able to start Apache2 by "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start". But all
what I get is:
Not starting apache2 - edit /etc/default/apache2 and change NO_START to be 0.
But when I change it to NO_START=0 then Apache2 will try to start during
boot which is what I dont want to happen (thttpd already listen on port
80).
Changing it before and after work is an option but does it have to?
Other daemons can be switched off using /etc/default/* file and started
by hand...
