<strong>NAME</strong>
apachectl - Apache HTTP server control interface
<strong>SYNOPSIS</strong>
<strong>apachectl</strong> <em>command</em> [...]
<strong>DESCRIPTION</strong>
<strong>apachectl</strong> is a front end to the Apache HyperText Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the adminis-
trator control the functioning of the Apache <strong>httpd</strong> daemon.
<strong>NOTE:</strong> If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths,
you will need to edit the <strong>apachectl</strong> script to set the
appropriate paths to your PID file and your <strong>httpd</strong> binary.
See the comments in the script for details.
The <strong>apachectl</strong> script returns a 0 exit value on success, and
>0 if an error occurs. For more details, view the comments
in the script.
Full documentation for Apache is available at
<strong>http://www.apache.org/</strong>
<strong>OPTIONS</strong>
The <em>command</em> can be any one or more of the following options:
<strong>start </strong> Start the Apache daemon. Gives an error if it
is already running.
<strong>stop </strong> Stops the Apache daemon.
<strong>restart </strong> 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 <strong>configtest</strong> before ini-
tiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't
die.
<strong>fullstatus</strong> Displays a full status report from <strong>mod_status.</strong>
For this to work, you need to have mod_status
enabled on your server and a text-based browser
such as <em>lynx</em> available on your system. The URL
used to access the status report can be set by
editing the <strong>STATUSURL</strong> variable in the script.
<strong>status </strong> Displays a brief status report. Similar to the
fullstatus option, except that the list of
requests currently being served is omitted.
<strong>graceful </strong> 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 configura-
tion files via <strong>configtest</strong> before initiating the
restart to make sure Apache doesn't die.
<strong>configtest</strong> Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses
the configuration files and either reports <strong>Syn-</strong>
<strong>tax Ok</strong> or detailed information about the partic-
ular syntax error.
<strong>help </strong> Displays a short help message.
