please remove start-stop links for httpd

  • 1.  please remove start-stop links for httpd

    Posted Fri September 19, 2025 09:50 AM

    Hello Toolbox Developer,

    I have a request for the next update of the httpd package. Could you please remove the links to/etc/rc.d/rc2.d from the package?
    The reason is that we are using the 64-bit version and have therefore created our own init file. The start-stop links in rc.2 are therefore named Shttpd_64 and Khttpd_64.
    If, after an update of the httpd RPM, the links Shttpd and Khttpd are then created, after a reboot Shttpd is executed first and the start of Shttpd_64 then fails.
    This is not conducive to a fully automated update as we have set it up, since the web services are then unavailable, which in turn triggers an alarm.

    Many thanks in advance.
    Kinde regards and a nice weekend
