apache2 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 or threads to handle requests.
In general, apache2 should not be invoked directly, but rather should be invoked
via /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. The default Debian configuration
requires environment variables that are defined in /etc/apache2/envvars and
are not available if apache2 is started directly. However, apache2ctl can be
used to pass arbitrary arguments to apache2.
The full documentation is available in the apache2-doc package or at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ . Information about Debian specific changes
and configuration can be found in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz .
- -d serverroot
- Set the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to
serverroot. This can be overridden by the ServerRoot directive in
the configuration file.
- -f config
- Uses the directives 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 /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
- -k start|restart|graceful|stop|graceful-stop
- Signals apache2 to start, restart, or stop. See Stopping
Apache for more information.
- -C directive
- Process the configuration directive before reading
config files.
- -c directive
- Process the configuration directive after reading
config files.
- -D parameter
- Sets a configuration parameter which can be used
with <IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to conditionally
skip or process commands at server startup and restart.
- -e level
- Sets the LogLevel to level during server startup.
This is useful for temporarily increasing the verbosity of the error
messages to find problems during startup.
- -E file
- Send error messages during server startup to
file.
- -R directory
- When the server is compiled using the SHARED_CORE rule,
this specifies the directory for the shared object files.
- -h
- Output a short summary of available command line
options.
- -l
- Output a list of modules compiled into the server. This
will not list dynamically loaded modules included using the
LoadModule directive.
- -L
- Output a list of directives together with expected
arguments and places where the directive is valid.
- -M
- Dump a list of loaded Static and Shared Modules.
- -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 syntax parsing tests with either a return
code of 0 (Syntax OK) or return code not equal to 0 (Syntax Error). If -D
DUMP_VHOSTS is also set, details of the virtual host
configuration will be printed. If -D DUMP_MODULES is set,
all loaded modules will be printed.
- -v
- Print the version of apache2, and then exit.
- -V
- Print the version and build parameters of apache2, and then
exit.
- -X
- Run apache2 in debug mode. Only one worker will be started
and the server will not detach from the console.
