How do I configure Apache to run multiple instances?

Question

Specifically, I have two httpd.conf files:

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

/etc/apache2/httpd_2.conf

How should I modify the /etc/init.d/apache2 script so that instances of Apache will be invoked for both configurations?

The apache2 script is currently standard/unmodified.

I thought we can't use httpd.conf in apache2...

alternatively, is it possible to solve your problem with different vhosts?

While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes.

on the one hand i understand your concern about bit-rot and disappearing links. on the other hand i do not believe in content duplication and prefer to have one place for a piece of information where it can (possibly) receive future updates. i will turn my answer into a community wiki, so other people can copy over the information.

Given that this is Ask Ubuntu, you should actually link to serverfault.com/a/397309/270721 instead
