apachectl - Apache HTTP Server Control Interface

+

Available Languages:  en  | + fr  | + ko  | + tr 

+
+ +

apachectl is a front end to the Apache HyperText + Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the + administrator control the functioning of the Apache + httpd daemon.

+ +

The apachectl script can operate in two modes. + First, it can act as a simple front-end to the httpd + command that simply sets any necessary environment variables and + then invokes httpd, passing through any command line + arguments. Second, apachectl can act as a SysV init + script, taking simple one-word arguments like start, + restart, and stop, and translating them + into appropriate signals to httpd.

+ +

If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will + need to edit the apachectl script to set the + appropriate paths to the httpd binary. You can also + specify any necessary httpd command line arguments. + See the comments in the script for details.

+ +

The apachectl script returns a 0 exit value on + success, and >0 if an error occurs. For more details, view + the comments in the script.

Synopsis

+ +

When acting in pass-through mode, apachectl can take +all the arguments available for the httpd +binary.

+ +

apachectl [ httpd-argument ]

+ +

When acting in SysV init mode, apachectl takes simple, +one-word commands, defined below.

+ +

apachectl command

+

Options

+ +

Only the SysV init-style options are defined here. Other arguments +are defined on the httpd manual page.

+ +
+ +
start
+ +
Start the Apache httpd daemon. Gives an error if it +is already running. This is equivalent to apachectl -k +start.
+ +
stop
+ +
Stops the Apache httpd daemon. This is equivalent to +apachectl -k stop.
+ +
restart
+ +
Restarts the Apache httpd daemon. If the daemon is +not running, it is started. This command automatically checks the +configuration files as in configtest before initiating +the restart to make sure the daemon doesn't die. This is equivalent +to apachectl -k restart.
+ +
fullstatus
+ +
Displays a full status report from mod_status. +For this to work, you need to have mod_status enabled +on your server and a text-based browser such as lynx +available on your system. The URL used to access the status report +can be set by editing the STATUSURL variable in the +script.
+ +
status
+ +
Displays a brief status report. Similar to the +fullstatus option, except that the list of requests +currently being served is omitted.
+ +
graceful
+ +
Gracefully restarts the Apache httpd daemon. 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 as in configtest before initiating the +restart to make sure Apache doesn't die. This is equivalent to +apachectl -k graceful.
+ +
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. +This is equivalent to apachectl -k graceful-stop.
+ +
configtest
+ +
Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration +files and either reports Syntax Ok +or detailed information about the particular syntax error. This is +equivalent to apachectl -t.
+ +
+ +

The following option was available in earlier versions but has been removed.

+ +
+ +
startssl
+ +
To start httpd with SSL support, you should edit +your configuration file to include the relevant directives and then +use the normal apachectl start.
