Default How to start Apache2 automatically at boot

Hi folks,


VMWare Server
Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (Host)
CentOS 5 x86_64 (Guest)


I need to start Apache2 at boot. I have xinetd installed and could not figure out how to set it for such a function.


# ls /etc/xinetd.d/
Code:
chargen-dgram   discard-stream  gssftp          tcpmux-server
chargen-stream  echo-dgram      klogin          time-dgram
daytime-dgram   echo-stream     krb5-telnet     time-stream
daytime-stream  eklogin         kshell          
discard-dgram   ekrb5-telnet    rsync
# ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/ | grep xinetd
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  2497 Mar 15  2007 xinetd
Besides I tried to reconfigure Apache2 and cound not find dpkg-reconfigure which is Debian package. What will be its equivalent on CentOS? Is there yum repo providing this package? TIA

Apache2 is not started using xinetd. You need to use /etc/init.d/httpd script.

RHEL / CentOS uses - ntsysv command to setup boot service
Code:
ntsysv
update-rc.d like command on Redhat Enterprise / CentOS Linux

Debian / Ubuntu user has sysvconfig command
Code:
sudo sysvconfig
Ubuntu / Debian Linux: Services Configuration Tool to Start / Stop System Services

Thanks for your advice. I got it done now. Previously I couldn't not make "ntsysv" to work. Later I found it needs "su -" to work.
