   alias apache='sudo /etc/init.d/apache2'

   Then it’s just apache start, apache restart, etc.

2. Thanks for the tip. It worked like a charm.

16. Hi! this tutorial is great. things have been ok but mine didnt work at the configuration stage. i restart the server but this d response:
    Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
    … waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
    help me pls

17. Your can also use this command
    sudo service apache2 restart

    1. Does the “sudo service apache2” apply for the php cli ?

       PHP Cli uses a different php.ini .

18. sudo service apache2 This worked for me, thanks a lot. I had an instance of apache2 running, but it was screwing up apache that was trying to run in xampp.

    Thanks again.

19. Nice tutorial. Help a lot :)

20. If you get “command not found” then apache2 may have been installed in a non-standard directory. For instance the bitnami installers put it in ‘stack’, so to find the ctl.sh you may need to use

    sudo stack/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh restart

    Whether this actually solves your problem or not, I don’t know, but it doesn’t cause the error.

21. Also when using bitnami the command

    sudo stack/ctlscript.sh restart

    restarts every service bitnami installed, including apache, in a logical order.

22. Final comment on this: If you are using one of the XAMPP or other stacks that installs apache as part of a larger package, you want to watch the stack-restart command (like the one I gave above for bitnami) very closely and always get the verbose log.

    If you have made some change like blowing away an app directory you aren’t using to fit within tight cloud host requirements, the configuration files generated for apache may be wrong/fragile and may cause apache to just not start with no indication why. However the stack-restart command for the stack you are using will generally report that problem. For instance in bitnami the restart is fragile – unless every single line of the configuration files it is relying on is up to date, you’ll have to go edit them yourself

    sudo nano /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-prefix.conf

    PHP is however more robust and usually only generates a warning if it doesn’t find some app configuration include. The worst you will see from PHP is a line like this

    WARNING: Nothing matches the include pattern ‘/opt/bitnami/apps/limesurvey/conf/php-fpm/pool.conf’ from /opt/bitnami/php/etc/php-fpm.conf at line 17.

    so you can sudo nano that .conf file also, but it might be better to let all future shell users have at least a chance to notice that you blew away an app package and then manually reconfigured. I would leave the warnings in place myself. Your mileage may vary.
