httpd... whats the difference....

2025-04-09

Server version: Apache/1.3.19 (Unix)
Redhat Linux 7.1

What's the diffrence between:

[root@localhost named]# httpd restart

and

[root@localhost named]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
which outputs:

Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]

If I edit httpd.conf, which restart command do I need to use? What does each do anyway?

Thanks
