It is designed to help the administrator control the +functioning of the Apache +.B apache2 +daemon. +.PP +.B NOTE: +The default Debian configuration requires the environment variables +.BR APACHE_RUN_USER , +.BR APACHE_RUN_GROUP , +and +.B APACHE_PID_FILE +to be set in +.BR /etc/apache2/envvars . +.PP +The +.B apache2ctl +script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error +occurs. For more details, view the comments in the script. +.PP +.SH OPTIONS +The \fIcommand\fP can be any one or more of the following options: +.TP 14 +.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 to catch the most obvious errors. +However, it is still possible for the daemon to die because of problems +with the configuration. +.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 setting the +.B APACHE_STATUSURL +variable in +.BR /etc/apache2/envvars . +.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 apache2ctl +configtest before initiating the restart to to catch the most obvious errors. +However, it is still possible for the daemon to die because of problems with +the configuration. +.TP +.BI graceful-stop +Gracefully stops the Apache httpd daemon. +This differs from a normal stop in that currently open connections are not +aborted. +A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. +.TP +.BI configtest +Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration +files and either reports +.B "Syntax Ok" +or information about the particular syntax error. This test does not catch +all errors. +.TP +.BI help +Displays a short help message. +.TP +The following option was available in earlier versions but has been removed. +.TP +.BI startssl +To start httpd with SSL support, you should edit your configuration file to +include the relevant directives and then use the normal apache2ctl start. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The behaviour of +.B apache2ctl +can be influenced with these environment variables: +.BR APACHE_HTTPD , +.BR APACHE_LYNX , +.BR APACHE_STATUSURL , +.BR APACHE_ULIMIT_MAX_FILES , +.BR APACHE_RUN_DIR , +.BR APACHE_LOCK_DIR , +.BR APACHE_RUN_USER , +.BR APACHE_ARGUMENTS , +.BR APACHE_ENVVARS . +See the comments in the script for details. +These variables (except +.BR APACHE_ENVVARS ) +can be set in +.BR /etc/apache2/envvars . +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR apache2(8) , +.BR /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz +. |
