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 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 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

       -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 Server-
                   Root 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  overrid-
                   den  by the ServerRoot command in the configu-
                   ration 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.

                   Process   the  configuration  directive  after
                   reading config files.

       -D parameter
                   Sets a configuration parameter  which  can  be
                   used with <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> sections in
                   the configuration files to conditionally  skip
                   or process commands.

       -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 direc-
                   tive 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 syn-
                   tax  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 con-
                   figured 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 httpd , and then exit.

       -V          Print the  version  and  build  parameters  of
                   httpd , and then exit.
