Ampps: start Apache from terminal on CentOS

In order to start Apache for Ampps from terminal run the following command:

/usr/local/ampps/apache/bin/httpd -k start


If you get the following error:

/usr/local/ampps/apache/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory

 - that means you'll have to run Ampps and start Apache first time from there in order to create the configuration file.

If you see this:

/usr/local/ampps/apache/bin/httpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/ampps/apache/lib/libapr-1.so.0: undefined symbol: dlopen

- follow these instructions.
