NAME

httpd - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server  

SYNOPSIS

httpd [ -vX? ] [ -d serverroot ] [ -f config ]  

DESCRIPTION

httpd is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server process. The server may be invoked by the Internet daemon inetd(1M) each time a connection to the HTTP service is made, or alternatively it may run as a daemon.  

OPTIONS

-d serverroot
Set the initial value for the ServerRoot variable to serverroot. This can be overridden by the ServerRoot command in the configuration file. The default is /usr/local/etc/httpd.
-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.
-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.
-?
Print a list of the httpd options, and then exit.
