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\&. .PP In general, httpd should not be invoked directly, but rather should be invoked via apachectl on Unix-based systems or as a service on Windows NT, 2000 and XP and as a console application on Windows 9x and ME\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP -d \fIserverroot\fR Set the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to \fIserverroot\fR\&. This can be overridden by the ServerRoot directive in the configuration file\&. The default is /usr/local/apache2\&. .TP -f \fIconfig\fR Uses the directives in the file \fIconfig\fR on startup\&. If \fIconfig\fR does not begin with a /, then it is taken to be a path relative to the ServerRoot\&. The default is conf/httpd\&.conf\&. .TP -k start|restart|graceful|stop|graceful-stop Signals httpd to start, restart, or stop\&. See Stopping Apache httpd for more information\&. .TP -C \fIdirective\fR Process the configuration \fIdirective\fR before reading config files\&. .TP -c \fIdirective\fR Process the configuration \fIdirective\fR after reading config files\&. .TP -D \fIparameter\fR Sets a configuration \fIparameter \fRwhich can be used with <IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to conditionally skip or process commands at server startup and restart\&. Also can be used to set certain less-common startup parameters including -DNO_DETACH (prevent the parent from forking) and -DFOREGROUND (prevent the parent from calling setsid() et al)\&. .TP -e \fIlevel\fR Sets the LogLevel to \fIlevel\fR during server startup\&. This is useful for temporarily increasing the verbosity of the error messages to find problems during startup\&. .TP -E \fIfile\fR Send error messages during server startup to \fIfile\fR\&. .TP -R \fIdirectory\fR When the server is compiled using the SHARED_CORE rule, this specifies the \fIdirectory\fR for the shared object files\&. .TP -h Output a short summary of available command line options\&. .TP -l Output a list of modules compiled into the server\&. This will \fBnot\fR list dynamically loaded modules included using the LoadModule directive\&. .TP -L Output a list of directives together with expected arguments and places where the directive is valid\&. .TP -M Dump a list of loaded Static and Shared Modules\&. .TP -S Show the settings as parsed from the config file (currently only shows the virtualhost settings)\&. .TP -T (Available in 2\&.2\&.17 and later) Skip document root check at startup/restart\&. .TP -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 \fIDUMP\fR_\fIVHOSTS \fRis also set, details of the virtual host configuration will be printed\&. If -D \fIDUMP\fR_\fIMODULES \fR is set, all loaded modules will be printed\&. .TP -v Print the version of httpd, and then exit\&. .TP -V Print the version and build parameters of httpd, and then exit\&. .TP -X Run httpd in debug mode\&. Only one worker will be started and the server will not detach from the console\&. .PP The following arguments are available only on the Windows platform: .TP -k install|config|uninstall Install Apache httpd as a Windows NT service; change startup options for the Apache httpd service; and uninstall the Apache httpd service\&. .TP -n \fIname\fR The \fIname\fR of the Apache httpd service to signal\&. .TP -w Keep the console window open on error so that the error message can be read\&.
