It is designed to help the administrator control the +functioning of the Apache +.B httpd +daemon. +.PP +.B NOTE: +If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to +edit the +.B apachectl +script to set the appropriate paths to your PID file and your +.B httpd +binary. See the comments in the script for details. +.PP +The +.B apachectl +script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error +occurs. For more details, view the comments in the script. +.PP +Full documentation for Apache is available at +.B http://httpd.apache.org/ +. +.SH OPTIONS +The \fIcommand\fP can be any one or more of the following options: +.TP 12 +.BI start +Start the Apache daemon. Gives an error if it is already running. +.TP +.BI stop +Stops the Apache daemon. +.TP +.BI restart +Restarts the Apache daemon by sending it a SIGHUP. If the daemon +is not running, it is started. +This command automatically checks the configuration files via +.BI configtest +before initiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die. +.TP +.BI fullstatus +Displays a full status report from +.B mod_status. +For this to work, you need to have mod_status enabled on your server +and a text-based browser such as \fIlynx\fP available on your system. The +URL used to access the status report can be set by editing the +.B STATUSURL +variable in the script. +.TP +.BI status +Displays a brief status report. Similar to the fullstatus option, +except that the list of requests currently being served is omitted. +.TP +.BI graceful +Gracefully restarts the Apache daemon by sending it a SIGUSR1. If +the daemon is not running, it is started. This differs from a +normal restart in that currently open connections are not aborted. +A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. +This means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial delay may be +necessary to ensure that the old log files are closed before processing them. +This command automatically checks the configuration files via +.BI configtest +before initiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die. +.TP +.BI configtest +Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration +files and either reports +.B "Syntax Ok" +or detailed information about the particular syntax error. +.TP +.BI help +Displays a short help message. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR httpd(8) +. |
