If You're Running a Web Server

Stop Any Running Web Server Processes

If you are running any Web server on your system, you must stop the server process before installing the Red Hat Linux Secure Server. If you are running an Apache Web server, stop the server process by issuing the following command:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

What Happens to Your Old Configuration Files?

If you have another version of Apache installed and you customized its configuration files, they will be saved in their directory with an extension of .rpmsave during the installation of the Red Hat Linux Secure Server. If you had another version of Apache installed but you never altered its configuration files, they will be overwritten during the installation of this product.

After installing the Red Hat Linux Secure Server, you can cut and paste your customizations from your old Apache configuration file (httpd.conf.rpmsave) into the newly installed httpd.conf configuration file for your Red Hat Linux Secure Server.
