<strong>NAME</strong>
httpd - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server
<strong>SYNOPSIS</strong>
<strong>httpd </strong>[ -<strong>d </strong><em>serverroot </em>] [ -<strong>f </strong><em>config </em>] [ -<strong>C </strong><em>directive </em>] [ -<strong>c</strong>
<em>directive </em>] [ -<strong>D </strong><em>parameter </em>]
<strong>httpd </strong>[ -<strong>h </strong>] [ -<strong>l </strong>] [ -<strong>L </strong>] [ -<strong>v </strong>] [ -<strong>V </strong>] [ -<strong>t </strong>] [ -<strong>X </strong>]
<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.
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://httpd.apache.org/. Paths in this
manual may not reflect those compiled into <strong>httpd.</strong>
<strong>OPTIONS</strong>
-<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
-<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-
-<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 <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> 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). If -<strong>D </strong><em>DUMP</em>_<em>VHOSTS </em>is also set, details
of the virtual host configuration will be
printed.
-<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.
-<strong>X </strong>Run <strong>httpd </strong>in debug mode. Only one worker will
be started and the server will not detach from
the console.
