NAME
cern-httpd - HTTP server daemon (aka WWW server)
SYNOPSIS
cern-httpd [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cern-httpd command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.
cern-httpd is a world-wide-web server daemon. It listens for requests on a TCP/IP port (typically 80) and returns files and other information in response.
OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see the documentation files.
- -r rulefile
-
Use rulefile as the configuration files, instead of the default /etc/cern-httpd.conf
- -p port
-
Listen for request on port number port. Without this argument (and without a port specified in the configuration file) cern-httpd assumes it has been started by inetd, and listens on stdin.
- -l logfile
-
Use logfile to log requests.
- -restart
-
Send SIGHUP to an already running cern-httpd process to force it to re-read the configuration file. If the -r option was used on the original run, the same option must be used for this request also.
- -gcc_only
-
Do only garbage collection (cache cleanup) and exit. Useful only when running cern-httpd as a proxy server.
- -v
-
Verbose, turn on debugging messages.
- -vv
-
Very verbose.
- -version
-
Print version number of cern-httpd and the libwww.a used to build it.
