| <p><code>apachectl</code> is a front end to the Apache HyperText |
| Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the |
| administrator control the functioning of the Apache |
| <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> daemon.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <code>apachectl</code> script can operate in two modes. |
| First, it can act as a simple front-end to the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> |
| command that simply sets any necessary environment variables and |
| then invokes <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>, passing through any command line |
| arguments. Second, <code>apachectl</code> can act as a SysV init |
| script, taking simple one-word arguments like <code>start</code>, |
| <code>restart</code>, and <code>stop</code>, and translating them |
| into appropriate signals to <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>.</p> |
| |
| <p>If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will |
| need to edit the <code>apachectl</code> script to set the |
| appropriate paths to the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> binary. You can also |
| specify any necessary <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> command line arguments. |
| See the comments in the script for details.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <code>apachectl</code> script returns a 0 exit value on |
| success, and >0 if an error occurs. For more details, view |
| the comments in the script.</p> |

| binary.</p> |
| |
| <p><code><strong>apachectl</strong> [ <var>httpd-argument</var> ]</code></p> |
| |

| <p>Only the SysV init-style options are defined here. Other arguments |
| are defined on the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> manual page.</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| |
| <dt><code>start</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>Start the Apache <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> daemon. Gives an error if it |
| is already running. This is equivalent to <code>apachectl -k |
| start</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>stop</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>Stops the Apache <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> daemon. This is equivalent to |
| <code>apachectl -k stop</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>restart</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>Restarts the Apache <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> daemon. If the daemon is |
| not running, it is started. This command automatically checks the |
| configuration files as in <code>configtest</code> before initiating |
| the restart to make sure the daemon doesn't die. This is equivalent |
| to <code>apachectl -k restart</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>fullstatus</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>Displays a full status report from <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code>. |
| For this to work, you need to have <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code> enabled |
| on your server and a text-based browser such as <code>lynx</code> |
| available on your system. The URL used to access the status report |
| can be set by editing the <code>STATUSURL</code> variable in the |
| script.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>status</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>Displays a brief status report. Similar to the |
| <code>fullstatus</code> option, except that the list of requests |
| currently being served is omitted.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>graceful</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>Gracefully restarts the Apache <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> daemon. If the |
| daemon is not running, it is started. This differs from a normal |
| restart in that currently open connections are not aborted. A side |
| effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. This |
| means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial delay may |
| be necessary to ensure that the old log files are closed before |
| processing them. This command automatically checks the configuration |
| files as in <code>configtest</code> before initiating the |
| restart to make sure Apache doesn't die. This is equivalent to |
| <code>apachectl -k graceful</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>configtest</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration |
| files and either reports <code>Syntax Ok</code> |
| or detailed information about the particular syntax error. This is |
| equivalent to <code>apachectl -t</code>.</dd> |
| |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>The following additional option is available, but deprecated.</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| |
| <dt><code>startssl</code></dt> |
| |
| <dd>This is equivalent to <code>apachectl -k start -DSSL</code>. We |
| recommend that you use that command explicitly, or you adjust your |
| <code>httpd.conf</code> to remove the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#ifdefine"><IfDefine></a></code> section so that SSL will always be |
| available.</dd> |
