NAME
httpd – HTTP daemon
SYNOPSIS
httpd [-dnv] [-D macro=value] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
The httpd daemon is an HTTP server with FastCGI and TLS support.
The FastCGI implementation has optional socket support. httpd can log to syslog(3) or per-server files with several standard formats.
httpd rereads its configuration file when it receives SIGHUP and reopens log files when it receives SIGUSR1.
The options are as follows:
- -D macro=value
-
Set a macro to a value. Macros can be referenced in the configuration files.
- -d
-
Debug mode. Create one server and don't detach or become a daemon. This allows for easy monitoring of httpd.
- -f file
-
Specifies the configuration file. The default is /etc/httpd.conf.
- -n
-
Check that the configuration is valid, but don't start any servers.
- -v
-
Verbose mode. Multiple -v options increase the verbosity.
