<strong>DESCRIPTION</strong>
<strong>httpd </strong>is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
server program. It is designed to be run as a standalone
daemon process. When used like this it will create a pool of
child processes to handle requests. To stop it, send a TERM
signal to the initial (parent) process. The PID of this pro-
cess is written to a file as given in the configuration
file. Alternatively <strong>httpd </strong>may be invoked by the Internet
daemon inetd(8) each time a connection to the HTTP service
is made.
This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For
details of the directives necessary to configure <strong>httpd </strong>see
the Apache manual, which is part of the Apache distribution
or can be found at http://www.apache.org/. Paths in this
manual may not reflect those compiled into <strong>httpd.</strong>
<strong>OPTIONS</strong>
-<strong>R </strong><em>libexecdir</em>
This option is only available if Apache was
built with the <em>SHARED</em>_<em>CORE </em>rule enabled which
forces the Apache core code to be placed into a
dynamic shared object (DSO) file. This file is
searched in a hardcoded path under ServerRoot
per default. Use this option if you want to
override it.
-<strong>d </strong><em>serverroot</em>
Set the initial value for the ServerRoot direc-
tive to <em>serverroot</em>. This can be overridden by
the ServerRoot command in the configuration
file. The default is <strong>/usr/local/apache</strong>.
-<strong>f </strong><em>config </em>Execute the commands in the file <em>config </em>on
startup. If <em>config </em>does not begin with a /, then
it is taken to be a path relative to the Server-
Root. The default is <strong>conf/httpd.conf</strong>.
-<strong>C </strong><em>directive</em>
Process the configuration <em>directive </em>before read-
ing config files.
-<strong>c </strong><em>directive</em>
Process the configuration <em>directive </em>after read-
ing config files.
-<strong>D </strong><em>parameter</em>
Sets a configuration <em>parameter </em>which can be used
with &lt;IfDefine&gt;...&lt;/IfDefine&gt; sections in the
configuration files to conditionally skip or
process commands.
-<strong>h </strong>Output a short summary of available command line
options.
-<strong>l </strong>Output a list of modules compiled into the
server.
-<strong>L </strong>Output a list of directives together with
expected arguments and places where the direc-
tive is valid.
-<strong>S </strong>Show the settings as parsed from the config file
(currently only shows the virtualhost settings).
-<strong>t </strong>Run syntax tests for configuration files only.
The program immediately exits after these syntax
parsing with either a return code of 0 (Syntax
OK) or return code not equal to 0 (Syntax
Error).
-<strong>T </strong>Same as option -<strong>t </strong>but does not check the config-
ured document roots.
-<strong>X </strong>Run in single-process mode, for internal debug-
ging purposes only; the daemon does not detach
from the terminal or fork any children. Do NOT
use this mode to provide ordinary web service.
-<strong>v </strong>Print the version of <strong>httpd </strong>, and then exit.
-<strong>V </strong>Print the version and build parameters of <strong>httpd</strong>
, and then exit.
