I am writing a bash file. I need to start apachectl from my bash file. so i wrote:

apachectl start

When I run it with root, an error occurred:

apachectl: command not found

Now, I want to know:

  • why this error occurred?

  • How could i run it with su?

    The command not found error is because “apachectl” is not in your path. Simply use the full path of the command, e.g.

    /etc/init.d/apachectl start

    If you get a permission denied error, then you need to run as a different user. That is a different problem though.
