How to configure Apache init scripts, after compiling and installing the sources?

Question

I installed Apache using this script https://gist.github.com/Benedikt1992/e88c2114fee15422a4eb

The system is a freshly installed CentOS 6.7 minimal system.

After installation I can find the apache in /usr/local/apache2/ but I can't start the apache with service or enable start on boot with chkconfig. What am I missing?

There is no Apache 2.4 in the default packages. With EPEL (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138899/centos-install-using-yum-apache-2-4) it is not compiled with --enable-so — Benedikt Bock, Aug 25 '15 at 16:53

Usually when I install apache on centOS, it gets installed in /etc/httpd/conf/ check there, otherwise do a find / -name httpd or find / -name apache. Also, if I want to start it now you start/stop it with sudo systemctl httpd start/stop or httpd -k start or apachectl start

with apachectl I can start the server. Nevertheless I can't use chkconfig or service – Benedikt Bock Aug 25 '15 at 21:04
well, you don't need `chkconfig` or `service` because they are deprecated now. You should use `systemctl` instead. – VaTo Aug 25 '15 at 21:07

Apache 2.4 doesn't use the init scripts. As Saul Ortega said the apachectl script can be used to start the server. It can also be used as a standard SysV init script. Further informations can be found in the apache doc http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/invoking.html
