running multiple copies of apache/httpd instances...

[bruce]

hi...

a simple/basic question. can someone point me to the way to run multiple
copies of apache/httpd from the gnome services dialog.

i had thought it should have been as simple as copying the existing
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd' to a httpd-foo and making the required changes, and
then creating a copy of the httpd.conf file with the required directives...

when i create the httpd-foo file in the init.d dir, i can do a '/httpd-svn
(start/stop)' and see the process start/stop....

the problem that i'm appearing to have is that when i start the new httpd
process, it simply overwrites/restarts the existing httpd processes.... i
had thought that there's a way to implement multpiple apache/httpd processes
on the same server...

i want two separate copies of apache running on the same server, each using
a separate port #.

any ideas/thoughts/comments/etc...

thanks

the shell scripts that i'm using for the original and new httpd processes
are:
