I install apache2 from reps. But I need not to use it every day, only if I works on some application. How can I stop auto running of it and run it manually if I need?

My OS is Ubuntu 11.04

Install sysv-rc-conf, run it as root, and uncheck the boxes next to the apache2 service.

  • Sure, rename the sysv symlinks by hand. sysv-rc-conf is a lot nicer. And you need to get a better font; my name is 'womble'.

You can use update-rc.d utility such as:

sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove

To start it manually, you can use:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

  • The next time the package is upgraded, apache will start again on boot. Please learn to use update-rc.d correctly.

  • @womble: Can you clarify your point please? Is there a better way to use this utility?
