Disabling Apache in direct admin

[majglow]

Is there anyway to disable apache in direct admin such that the process will never start?

I've been having a very strange problem with apache. I'm at apache 2.2.3 (I tried 2.2.4 but the same happens) and every few hours the process hangs at 100% CPU.

I can also make this happen by simply trying to stop the process (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd stop).

I'm running FreeBSD 6.2. I was running 5.4 on the box but I updated everything (OS, ports, DA, recompiled everything, etc...).

I really doubt I'll be able to find out what's wrong. So, I decided to just ditch apache for nginx (I'm only running it as a front end to a ruby on rails application. I don't want to ditch Direct Admin completely because I hate managing email.

I've already ditched mysql for postgres. Is there any way to make sure that apache won't start and DA stops monitoring it?

Yes, you can disable it.

# chkconfig httpd off
# perl -pi -e 's/httpd=ON/httpd=OFF/' /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd stop
