<p>On Windows, Apache is normally run as a service.
|
|
For details, see <a href="platform/windows.html#winsvc">Running Apache as a Service</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On Unix, the <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> program
|
|
is run as a daemon that executes continuously in the
|
|
background to handle requests. This document describes how
|
|
to invoke <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>.</p>

<h2><a name="startup" id="startup">How Apache Starts</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code>
|
|
specified in the configuration file is default of 80 (or any other
|
|
port below 1024), then it is necessary to have root privileges in
|
|
order to start apache, so that it can bind to this privileged
|
|
port. Once the server has started and performed a few preliminary
|
|
activities such as opening its log files, it will launch several
|
|
<em>child</em> processes which do the work of listening for and
|
|
answering requests from clients. The main <code>httpd</code>
|
|
process continues to run as the root user, but the child processes
|
|
run as a less privileged user. This is controlled by the selected
|
|
<a href="mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The recommended method of invoking the <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>
|
|
executable is to use the <code class="program"><a href="./programs/apachectl.html">apachectl</a></code> control script. This
|
|
script sets certain environment variables that are necessary for
|
|
<code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> to function correctly under some operating
|
|
systems, and then invokes the <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> binary.
|
|
<code class="program"><a href="./programs/apachectl.html">apachectl</a></code> will pass through any command line
|
|
arguments, so any <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> options may also be used with
|
|
<code class="program"><a href="./programs/apachectl.html">apachectl</a></code>. You may also directly edit the
|
|
<code class="program"><a href="./programs/apachectl.html">apachectl</a></code> script by changing the <code>HTTPD</code>
|
|
variable near the top to specify the correct location of the
|
|
<code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> binary and any command-line arguments that you
|
|
wish to be <em>always</em> present.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first thing that <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> does when it is
|
|
invoked is to locate and read the <a href="configuring.html">configuration file</a>
|
|
<code>httpd.conf</code>. The location of this file is set at
|
|
compile-time, but it is possible to specify its location at run
|
|
time using the <code>-f</code> command-line option as in</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="example"><p><code>/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -f
|
|
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf</code></p></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>If all goes well during startup, the server will detach from
|
|
the terminal and the command prompt will return almost
|
|
immediately. This indicates that the server is up and running.
|
|
You can then use your browser to connect to the server and view
|
|
the test page in the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> directory.</p>
|
|
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div>
|
|
<div class="section">
|
|
<h2><a name="errors" id="errors">Errors During Start-up</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If Apache suffers a fatal problem during startup, it will
|
|
write a message describing the problem either to the console or
|
|
to the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#errorlog">ErrorLog</a></code> before
|
|
exiting. One of the most common error messages is "<code>Unable
|
|
to bind to Port ...</code>". This message is usually caused by
|
|
either:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Trying to start the server on a privileged port when not
|
|
logged in as the root user; or</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Trying to start the server when there is another instance
|
|
of Apache or some other web server already bound to the same
|
|
Port.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>For further trouble-shooting instructions, consult the
|
|
Apache <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/FAQ">FAQ</a>.</p>

<div class="section">

|
<h2><a name="boot" id="boot">Starting at Boot-Time</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want your server to continue running after a system
|
|
reboot, you should add a call to <code class="program"><a href="./programs/apachectl.html">apachectl</a></code> to your
|
|
system startup files (typically <code>rc.local</code> or a file in
|
|
an <code>rc.N</code> directory). This will start Apache as
|
|
root. Before doing this ensure that your server is properly
|
|
configured for security and access restrictions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code class="program"><a href="./programs/apachectl.html">apachectl</a></code> script is designed to act like a
|
|
standard SysV init script; it can take the arguments
|
|
<code>start</code>, <code>restart</code>, and <code>stop</code>
|
|
and translate them into the appropriate signals to
|
|
<code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>. So you can often simply link
|
|
<code class="program"><a href="./programs/apachectl.html">apachectl</a></code> into the appropriate init directory. But be
|
|
sure to check the exact requirements of your system.</p>
