Description Martin Frodl 2015-03-20 10:43:57 UTC 
Description of problem:

According to information in /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/sysconfig/httpd, the legacy HTTPD variable that was used to change the MPM in older httpd versions should now be ignored, having been replaced by .../etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf:

# Note: With previous versions of httpd, the MPM could be changed by
# editing an "HTTPD" variable here.  With the current version, that
# variable is now ignored.  The MPM is a loadable module, and the
# choice of MPM can be changed by editing the configuration file
# /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf.

This is not the case with RHEL 6, however:

# echo 'HTTPD=/opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/sbin/httpd.event' > /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/sysconfig/httpd
# service httpd24-httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: /bin/bash: /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/sbin/httpd.event: No such file or directory
[FAILED]
#

On RHEL 7, on the other hand, HTTPD is correctly ignored:

# echo 'HTTPD=/opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/sbin/httpd.event' > /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/sysconfig/httpd
# service httpd24-httpd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  httpd24-httpd.service
#
