During the installation process, a Bourne shell (sh) script named
httpd was installed into
/etc/rc.d/init.d. To manually stop and start the
server, run httpd with either stop
or start as an argument.
To start your server, type the command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
|
You will be prompted to fill in your password. After you type it in,
your server will start.
To stop your server, type the command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
|
The command restart is a shorthand way of stopping
and then starting your server. restart does
explicitly stop and then start your server, so you will be prompted for
your password. restart looks like the following:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
|
If you just finished editing something in your
httpd.conf file, you don't need to explicitly stop
and start your server. Instead you may use the
reload command. The benefit of using
reload is that you will not need to type in your
password. Your password will remain cached across reloads, but it will
not be cached between stops and starts. reload
looks like the following:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd reload
|
Your server (the httpd process) will start
automatically when your machine boots. Be aware that you'll be prompted
for the secure server's password after the machine boots, unless you
generated a key for your secure server without password protection.
