computer.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k install -n "MyServiceName"

</code></p></div>
<p>If you need to have specifically named configuration files for
different services, you must use this:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k install -n "MyServiceName" -f "c:\files\my.conf"

<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k uninstall

<p>The specific Apache service to be uninstalled can be specified by using:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k uninstall -n "MyServiceName"
+ httpd -k uninstall -n "MyServiceName"
</code></p></div>
<p>Normal starting, restarting and shutting down of an Apache
service's configuration file by using:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -n "MyServiceName" -t
+ httpd -n "MyServiceName" -t
</code></p></div>
<p>You can control an Apache service by its command line switches,
too. To start an installed Apache service you'll use this:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k start
+ httpd -k start
</code></p></div>
<p>To stop an Apache service via the command line switches, use
this:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k stop
+ httpd -k stop
</code></p></div>
<p>or</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k shutdown
+ httpd -k shutdown
</code></p></div>
<p>You can also restart a running service and force it to reread
its configuration file by using:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k restart
+ httpd -k restart
</code></p></div>
<p>By default, all Apache services are registered to run as the

<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -n "MyServiceName" -k start
+ httpd -n "MyServiceName" -k start

<p>via a shortcut on your desktop, for example, then if the
use the following command:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache

<p>Apache will execute, and will remain running until it is stopped
window and entering:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k shutdown
+ httpd -k shutdown
</code></p></div>
<p>This should be preferred over pressing Control-C because this
complete without interruption. To restart Apache, use:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
- apache -k restart

<p>Then wait for Apache to stop, or press Control-C. Then enter the

<div class="example"><p><code>
