On Windows, Apache is normally run as a service.

On Unix, the httpd program
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
is run as a daemon that executes continuously in the
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
background to handle requests. This document describes how
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
to invoke httpd .

If the Listen
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
specified in the configuration file is default of 80 (or any other
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
port below 1024), then it is necessary to have root privileges in
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
order to start apache, so that it can bind to this privileged
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
port. Once the server has started and performed a few preliminary
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
activities such as opening its log files, it will launch several
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
child processes which do the work of listening for and
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
answering requests from clients. The main httpd
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
process continues to run as the root user, but the child processes
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
run as a less privileged user. This is controlled by the selected
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
Multi-Processing Module.
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
The recommended method of invoking the httpd
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
executable is to use the apachectl control script. This
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
script sets certain environment variables that are necessary for
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
httpd to function correctly under some operating
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
systems, and then invokes the httpd binary.
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
apachectl will pass through any command line
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
arguments, so any httpd options may also be used with
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
apachectl . You may also directly edit the
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
apachectl script by changing the HTTPD
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
variable near the top to specify the correct location of the
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
httpd binary and any command-line arguments that you
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
wish to be always present.
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
The first thing that httpd does when it is
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
invoked is to locate and read the configuration file
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
httpd.conf . The location of this file is set at
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
compile-time, but it is possible to specify its location at run
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
time using the -f command-line option as in
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -f
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
If all goes well during startup, the server will detach from
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
the terminal and the command prompt will return almost
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
immediately. This indicates that the server is up and running.
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
You can then use your browser to connect to the server and view
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
the test page in the DocumentRoot directory.
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |

If Apache suffers a fatal problem during startup, it will
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
write a message describing the problem either to the console or
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
to the ErrorLog before
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
exiting. One of the most common error messages is "Unable
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
to bind to Port ...". This message is usually caused by
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
either:

|
Packit |

|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |

If you want your server to continue running after a system
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
reboot, you should add a call to apachectl to your
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
system startup files (typically rc.local or a file in
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
an rc.N directory). This will start Apache as
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
root. Before doing this ensure that your server is properly
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
configured for security and access restrictions.
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
The apachectl script is designed to act like a
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
standard SysV init script; it can take the arguments
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
start , restart , and stop
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
and translate them into the appropriate signals to
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
httpd . So you can often simply link
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
apachectl into the appropriate init directory. But be
|
|
Packit |
90a5c9 |
sure to check the exact requirements of your system.
