HTTPD(8)		    System Manager's Manual		      HTTPD(8)

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  re-
       opens 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  be-
		       come  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  ver-
		       bosity.

FILES
       /etc/httpd.conf		    Default configuration file.
       /etc/ssl/private/server.key  Default SSL/TLS server key.
       /etc/ssl/server.crt	    Default SSL/TLS server certificate.
       /var/www/logs/access.log	    Default access log file.
       /var/www/logs/error.log	    Default error log file.
