CentOS not automatically started httpd in Vagrant

Question

If I use a symbolic link to httpd.conf at vagrant shared directory, it not automatically started httpd. Where wrong my configuration?

Versions:

• Host OS: Mac OS X 10.9.2
• Guest OS: CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
• VirtualBox 4.3.2
• Vagrant 1.3.5
• Apache/2.2.15

For example:

$ vagrant ssh
[vagrant]$ sudo chkconfig httpd on
[vagrant]$ ln -sf /vagrant/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[vagrant]$ exit
$ vagrant reload
$ vagrant ssh
[vagrant]$ ps -ef | grep httpd
vagrant   2652  2632  0 16:40 pts/0    00:00:00 grep httpd

Thank you for being patient with my English.

Answer 1

This was problem related to vagrant folder mount. I edited to wait vagrant sync folder mount to /etc/init.d/httpd.

Answer 2

All files in vagrant sync folder are owned by vagrant:vagrant. Please check this and the permission accordingly. Suggestion is to use provision to

• copy your httpd.conf to /etc/httpd/conf
• or chown and chmod accordingly

Answer 3

start the httpd:

service httpd start

if you want it to auto start when OS boot:

chkconfig --levels 234 httpd on

run a httpd.conf config test to see if there is error:

apachectl configtest

or

httpd -t
