5.5.2. Running HTTP Server

The HTTP Server can be run with the provided apachectl script, which is located inside the /opt/redhat/ews/sbin directory. The apachectl script uses the configuration file /opt/redhat/ews/etc/sysconfig/httpd. In this file you can edit and select startup parameters, such as the running of mpm.
Apache httpd configuration files are located inside the /opt/redhat/ews/etc/httpd directory. By default all supported modules are loaded and enabled (refer to Appendix A, Supported HTTP Modules). To disable some of the modules, comment out the respective modules in the httpd.conf file (for module description refer to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/).

Procedure 5.10. Running HTTP Server

Follow this procedure to start the HTTP Server:
  1. Run the command line as the root user.
  2. Run the following command to start the HTTP Server: 
    sbin/apachectl start
    If you want your server to continue running automatically after a system reboot, add a call to the apachectl script to your system startup files.

    Note

    For complete documentation on how to start and stop the HTTP Server, refer to the files, docs/httpd/invoking.html and docs/httpd/stopping.html respectively.
