As a Security Measure I just un-installed Apache. If you are NOT going to run a server, you don't need it taking up H/D space.

I use Webmin to turn it off and on, even
remotely. It works great.

Is the goal to prevent this from starting up again when you reboot?

Is there a way to keep it off the next time you reboot,
and turn it on again when your ready to use it?

lol, yep, pull the RJ-45 10/100Base-T cable out
of the router. I just had to say that.

In RH, I believe your default run level is 5. Or, is that with GUI and the regular run level is 3? Eek! I'm not a Redhat person, however I know enough.. Open up /etc/inittab -- near the top it should tell you what your default run level is. Then, look in /etc/rc.d/rc#.d where # is your default runlevel. You should see a symlink named something like S91apache -- the number may be different, don't worry. Either rename that (I've used NS to signifiy something has been disabled from starting -- if it starts with S it will be used to start a service, if it is NS91apache (I think "No Start") it won't be used. Or delete the symlink all togethor.
