Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3.12 (Amiga)

Starting Amiga-Apache

There are two ARexx scripts provided in the "Amiga specific additional files" archieve, called starthttpd and stophttpd. Make sure to set the "s"-Flag. Apache needs up to a minute to shutdown all childprocesses, so wait before closing down Amitcp or Miami.

If you need any commandline options in the starthttpd script, just put them right after the httpd command. For example: ADDRESS COMMAND 'run >T:httpd.pid httpd -f /configs/httpd.conf'.

Another way to start httpd is from a shell. Just open a shell, cd to Apache: and type: httpd [options]. Beware that Amiga-Apache will not detach!

Note that httpd is pure, i.e. it can be made resident. This decreases memory usage dramatically when you are using the httpd compiled with PHP.

Be sure to read also the non-Amiga manual on this topic.
