As you know, when you installed your Apache service to your Centos/Redhat server manually (make & make install but not yum) and could like to run the service automatically, you should copy the apachectl from the Apache bin folder to /etc/init.d/ folder as named httpd.

Then you might want to set the chkconfig and facing the error as below,

service httpd does not support chkconfig

To fix this issue, you may simply add the following line to your file at /etc/init.d/httpd.

#
# Startup script for the Apache Web Server
#
# chkconfig: - 85 15
# description: Apache is a World Wide Web server. It is used to serve
# HTML files and CGI.
# processname: httpd
# pidfile: /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid
# config: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Then you may chkconfig again,

chkconfig --level 235 httpd on

And now restart your httpd service.
