httpd(8)

NAME
       httpd - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server

SYNOPSIS
       httpd [ -hlvX?  ] [ -d serverroot ] [ -f config ]

DESCRIPTION
       httpd  is  the  Apache  HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
       server program. It is designed to be run as  a  standalone
       daemon  process. When used like this is 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 configu-
       ration  file.   Alternatively  httpd 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 httpd
       see the Apache manual, which is part of the Apache distri-
       bution or can be found at http://www.apache.org/. Paths in
       this manual may not reflect those compiled into httpd.

OPTIONS
       -d serverroot
                   Set  the  initial  value  for  the  ServerRoot
                   directive to serverroot. This can be  overrid-
                   den  by the ServerRoot command in the configu-
                   ration     file.      The      default      is
                   /usr/local/etc/httpd.

       -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.

       -h          Output a  list  of  directives  together  with
                   expected arguments and places where the direc-
                   tive is valid.

       -l          Output a list of  modules  compiled  into  the
                   server.

       -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 httpd, and then exit.

       -?          Print  a  list  of the httpd options, and then
                   exit.
