What run level are you actually in? Most of us are in run level 3 (console mode) or run level 5 (graphics mode). Run level 2 is seldom used, although certainly possible. My inittab file has this as the descriptions of the various run levels. __________________ #Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # 1 - Single user mode # 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) # 3 - Full multiuser mode # 4 - unused # 5 - X11 # 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # ____________________________ If you are in run level 3 or 5, then changing the link in rc2.d will not have any effect. Using chkconfig it creates the S85 links in the current run level only or in the run levels you explicitly list. > > > Under FC1, my apache daemons are not starting up at boot > time. > > Originally, my link to the startup script was numbered > > /etc/rc2.d/S90apache. > > I tried as low as S78apache. > > > > With either of these numbers, the daemon won't start on its own. > > > > It starts just fine manually at a later time with a; > > > > ' /etc/rc2.d/S78apache start' > > > > I wonder why it's not starting.
