How to create Apache service with custom httpd.conf file

Question

I have my custom-httpd.conf file c:\apache\conf Am wondering how do I use this custom-httpd.conf file instead of httpd.conf file to create Apache service in windows

Tried the below command but didnt work

httpd.exe -k start -k config ..\conf\custom-httpd.conf -n "Apachefacade"

Answer 1

I suggest you to list down your customization in one of the file say my.conf. And as described on the Apache Site

If you need to have specifically named configuration files for different services, you must use this:

httpd.exe -k install -n "MyServiceName" -f "c:\files\my.conf"

Good Luck!
