Or simply add the commands to /etc/rc.local
That will not work for his needs. rc.local is the last script run and
he needs the interfaces active before httpd starts.
Yes: it will work - it's exactly what I do on my servers.
And .. No, he doesnt need the logical interfaces active before httpd runs
Given that the OP currently works by running the commands in an
interactive shell after bootup and makes no comment about having to
restart Apache, this suggests that he is not using IP addresses in his
"Listen" options in httpd.conf - which means that Apache is listening on
IP 0.0.0.0 ("all") which in turn means that adding IPs to interfaces
after the event will indeed work just fine. The "interfaces must be
active" point is only an issue if Apache is bound to specific IPs via
the "Listen" statement - and it appears that this is not the case for
the OP.
It's easy to check.. if "netstat -nta" shows no specific IP address
against the "LISTEN" entry for port 80, then the rc.local route will
work fine - whether it's "best practice" is another matter.
Here's the trace of an actual test...
