26 !!DESCRIPTION
27
28
2 perry 29 __apache__ is the Apache !HyperText Transfer Protocol
1 perry 30 (HTTP) server program. It is designed to be run as a
31 standalone daemon process. When used like this it will
32 create a pool of child processes to handle requests. To stop
33 it, send a TERM signal to the initial (parent) process. The
34 PID of this process is written to a file as given in the
35 configuration file. Alternatively __apache__ may be
36 invoked by the Internet daemon inetd(8) each time a
37 connection to the HTTP service is made.
38
39
40 This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For
41 details of the directives necessary to configure
42 __apache__ see the Apache manual, which is part of the
43 Apache distribution or can be found at
44 http://httpd.apache.org/. Paths in this manual may not
45 reflect those compiled into __apache.__
46 !!OPTIONS
47
48
49 __-R__ ''libexecdir''
50
51
52 This option is only available if Apache was built with the
53 ''SHARED_CORE'' rule enabled which forces the Apache core
54 code to be placed into a dynamic shared object (DSO) file.
2 perry 55 This file is searched in a hardcoded path under !ServerRoot
1 perry 56 per default. Use this option if you want to override
57 it.

60 __-d__ ''serverroot''
61
62
2 perry 63 Set the initial value for the !ServerRoot directive to
64 ''serverroot''. This can be overridden by the !ServerRoot
1 perry 65 command in the configuration file. The default is
66 __/usr/local/apache__.
67
68
69 __-f__ ''config''
70
71
72 Execute the commands in the file ''config'' on startup.
73 If ''config'' does not begin with a /, then it is taken
2 perry 74 to be a path relative to the !ServerRoot. The default is
1 perry 75 __conf/httpd.conf__.
76
77
78 __-C__ ''directive''
79
80
81 Process the configuration ''directive'' before reading

114 settings).
115

120 equal to 0 (Syntax Error).
121
122
123 __-T__ Same as option __-t__ but does not check the
124 configured document roots.
125
126
127 __-X__ Run in single-process mode, for internal debugging
128 purposes only; the daemon does not detach from the terminal
