!!DESCRIPTION


__apache__ 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 process is written to a file as given in the
configuration file. Alternatively __apache__ 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
__apache__ 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 __apache.__
!!OPTIONS


__-R__ ''libexecdir''


This option is only available if Apache was built with the
''SHARED_CORE'' 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.


__-d__ ''serverroot''


Set the initial value for the !ServerRoot directive to
''serverroot''. This can be overridden by the !ServerRoot
command in the configuration file. The default is
__/usr/local/apache__.


__-f__ ''config''


Execute the commands in the file ''config'' on startup.
If ''config'' does not begin with a /, then it is taken
to be a path relative to the !ServerRoot. The default is
__conf/httpd.conf__.


__-C__ ''directive''


Process the configuration ''directive'' before reading
config files.


__-c__ ''directive''


Process the configuration ''directive'' after reading
config files.


__-D__ ''parameter''


Sets a configuration ''parameter'' which can be used with
''


__-h__ Output a short summary of available command line
options.


__-l__ Output a list of modules compiled into the
server.


__-L__ Output a list of directives together with expected
arguments and places where the directive is
valid.


__-S__ Show the settings as parsed from the config file
(currently only shows the virtualhost
settings).


__-t__ 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).


__-T__ Same as option __-t__ but does not check the
configured document roots.


__-X__ Run in single-process mode, for internal debugging
purposes only; the daemon does not detach from the terminal
or fork any children. Do NOT use this mode to provide
ordinary web service.


__-v__ Print the version of __apache__ , and then
exit.


__-V__ Print the version and build parameters of
__apache__ , and then exit.
