While starting apache with apachectl facing issue - apache

Question

When i am trying to start or stop apache with the command
/ebiz/apache/httpd/sbin/apachectl -k stop -f /ebiz/apache/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Getting this error:-
/ebiz/apache/httpd/sbin/apachectl: line 122: ./httpd: No such file or directory
But when i am trying to execute same command from sbin location it is working fine. I am placing my apache in custom location and my apachectl is in "/ebiz/apache/httpd/sbin" location and httpd.conf is in "/ebiz/apache/httpd/conf/" location
If i look my apachectl file
#!/bin/sh

On the line number 122 it is looking for this "$HTTPD $OPTIONS "$#"". How i can execute apache from anywhere

Answer 1

You can see that the path to httpd is hardcoded to the relative path ./httpd in apachectl:
# the path to your httpd binary, including options if necessary
HTTPD='./httpd'
which points to the wrong location if you're not in the right working directory.
It should be sufficient to change the path to the absolute path to the binary, i.e.
# the path to your httpd binary, including options if necessary
HTTPD=/ebiz/apache/httpd/sbin/httpd
