apache2 problem sun solaris 10
I installed on m sun solaris 10, just the core sdistribution
I installed packages:
systemSUNWapch2dApache Web Server V2 Documentation
systemSUNWapch2rApache Web Server V2 (root)
systemSUNWapch2uApache Web Server V2 (usr)
But when i try to enable apache
svcadm enable apache2
i get:
svcadm: Pattern 'apache2' doesn't match any instances
i looked all day in doc's the internet, but no good solution.
Who has got the answer for me.

Obviously Im missing something but, please be patient, Im a newbie on Solaris. Can do most basic things but really wanted to get hands dirty and learn.
Part of me just wants to compile the source and be done, but this should be easy to fix.

I found that it isn't just clearing that works.
If you look at the logs indicated in "svcs -x apache2" after a reboot, at least on my freshly installed Solaris 10, the startup script had problems creating /var/run/apache2 because it saw /var/run as a read only filesystem.
What I did was edit the apache2 start file in /lib/svc/method (I'm not where I have access, so I don't have the exact filename) and put a 'sleep 5' just prior to the line "mkdir -p /var/run/apache2".
Now my apache2 instance comes up cleanly on reboots. I've been meaning to open a service request to report this bug.

-With Apache startup, you can try to ensure that your httpd configuration files are configured properly.
-You can also ensure that your network services, including apache web server http services, are up and running at boot time in your rc directory.
-This is my experience from doing work with Linux. I'm also a Solaris 10 newbie, but have had experience and training with solaris 8.
-The best thing for you to do is go to www.apache.org and see how to properly config your httpd content files and to ensure how to config and start the services on startup.

when I use apache (v.1)
# /etc/init.d/apache start
it works.
But when I type
#/usr/apache2/bin/apachectl start
It shows:
/usr/apache2/bin/apachectl: /usr/apache2/bin/httpd: not found
Then I chech /usr/apache2/bin, it is true lacking such a file.
should I rebuild apache2 and httpd ?

Heya,
The maintenance state of apache2 and the log file from "svcs -x apache2"
both indicate absence of properly mounted /usr which I have solved by hacking in another dependencie into SMF xml file for apache2:
# diff /var/svc/manifest/network/http-apache2.xml /root/var_svc_manifest_network_http-apache2.xml_ORIGINAL
24,30d23
<<dependency name='filesystem'
< grouping='require_all'
< restart_on='error'
< type='service'>
< <service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/usr:default'/>
<</dependency>
Now everything is working,
and probably hiding in resolution to [invisible to me] bug 6270245.

Actually
svc:/system/filesystem/local:default
is even more proper instead of /usr
if apache2 docroot directory is on other mounts.
# diff /var/svc/manifest/network/http-apache2.xml /root/var_svc_manifest_network_http-apache2.xml_ORIGINAL

<<dependency name='filesystem'
< grouping='require_all'
< restart_on='error'
< type='service'>
< <service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/local:default'/>
<</dependency>

Well,
actually modifications to SMF xml config file were only useful so far,
then apache would still get stuck looking for our docRoot files which were not on / or /usr or /var.
After trying "sleep 2" in start method all is coming up fine after reboots.
What a BLAH BUG!
