. $startApache wrong syntax?

Hi All,

why doesn't this code start apache at boot?

Cheers.

startApache=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
if [ -f "$startApache" ] ; then
. $startApache
fi

Try removing that .

Code:

startApache="/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start"
if [ -f "$startApache" ] ; then
. $startApache
fi

OR

Code:

action=start
apache="/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl"
if [ -f "$apache" ] ; then
. $apache $action
fi

Hi All,

the 1st one didn't work, but the 2nd one did. Why wouldn't the 1st one work? Cheers.

Of course it didn't work, there is no file called "/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start"
