How to make tarball version of Apache 2 into service in Linux?

    I have downloaded Apache 2.2.2 and installed it on my computer running Linux Mandrake 10.1 and on other computer running Fedora.

    From the documentation, I know that to start apache we can use

    /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

    I also know that Mandrake 10.1 and Fedora has been bundled with apache.

    My question is how can I make my apache installation to replace the bundled one so my apache can run as a service and I can start it with

    service httpd start



    Anyone can help me?

    Apache 1.3 starts with apachectl start but apache2 startes with apache2ctl so you need to stop 1.3 from running at startup and have 2.0 start instead. There is a utility sysv-rc-conf that can do that very quickly.
