<p>During the installation, Apache will configure the files in the
<li><p>Apache for Windows contains the ability to load modules at
runtime, without recompiling the server. If Apache is compiled
normally, it will install a number of optional modules in the
- <code>\Apache2\modules</code> directory. To activate these or
+ <code>\Apache2.3\modules</code> directory. To activate these or
other modules, the new <directive module="mod_so">LoadModule</directive>
directive must be used. For example, to activate the status
module, use the following (in addition to the status-activating
the command prompt at the Apache <code>bin</code> subdirectory:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k install
+ httpd.exe -k install
</example>
<p>If you need to specify the name of the service you want to
computer.</p>
<example>
- httpd -k install -n "MyServiceName"
+ httpd.exe -k install -n "MyServiceName"
</example>
<p>If you need to have specifically named configuration files for
different services, you must use this:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k install -n "MyServiceName" -f "c:\files\my.conf"
+ httpd.exe -k install -n "MyServiceName" -f "c:\files\my.conf"
</example>
<p>If you use the first command without any special parameters except
<p>Removing an Apache service is easy. Just use:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k uninstall
+ httpd.exe -k uninstall
</example>
<p>The specific Apache service to be uninstalled can be specified by using:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k uninstall -n "MyServiceName"
+ httpd.exe -k uninstall -n "MyServiceName"
</example>
<p>Normal starting, restarting and shutting down of an Apache
service's configuration file by using:</p>
<example>
- httpd -n "MyServiceName" -t
+ httpd.exe -n "MyServiceName" -t
</example>
<p>You can control an Apache service by its command line switches,
too. To start an installed Apache service you'll use this:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k start
+ httpd.exe -k start
</example>
<p>To stop an Apache service via the command line switches, use
this:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k stop
+ httpd.exe -k stop
</example>
<p>or</p>
<example>
- httpd -k shutdown
+ httpd.exe -k shutdown
</example>
<p>You can also restart a running service and force it to reread
its configuration file by using:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k restart
+ httpd.exe -k restart
</example>
<p>By default, all Apache services are registered to run as the
in the background. If you run the command</p>
<example>
- httpd -n "MyServiceName" -k start
+ httpd.exe -n "MyServiceName" -k start
</example>
<p>via a shortcut on your desktop, for example, then if the
use the following command:</p>
<example>
- httpd
+ httpd.exe
</example>
<p>Apache will execute, and will remain running until it is stopped
window and entering:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k shutdown
+ httpd.exe -k shutdown
</example>
<p>This should be preferred over pressing Control-C because this
complete without interruption. To restart Apache, use:</p>
<example>
- httpd -k restart
+ httpd.exe -k restart
</example>
<note>Note for people familiar with the Unix version of Apache:
<p>If the Apache console window closes immediately or unexpectedly
after startup, open the Command Prompt from the Start Menu -->
Programs. Change to the folder to which you installed Apache, type
- the command <code>apache</code>, and read the error message. Then
+ the command <code>httpd.exe</code>, and read the error message. Then
change to the logs folder, and review the <code>error.log</code>
file for configuration mistakes. If you accepted the defaults when
you installed Apache, the commands would be:</p>
<example>
c: <br />
- cd "\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin" <br />
- httpd
+ cd "\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.3\bin" <br />
+ httpd.exe
</example>
<p>Then wait for Apache to stop, or press Control-C. Then enter the
a particular configuration file:</p>
<example>
- httpd -f "c:\my server files\anotherconfig.conf"
+ httpd.exe -f "c:\my server files\anotherconfig.conf"
</example>
<p>or</p>
<example>
- httpd -f files\anotherconfig.conf
+ httpd.exe -f files\anotherconfig.conf
</example></li>
<li><p><code>-n</code> specifies the installed Apache service
whose configuration file is to be used:</p>
<example>
- httpd -n "MyServiceName"
+ httpd.exe -n "MyServiceName"
</example>
</li>
</ul>
<li>The server root compiled into the server. This is <code>
/apache</code> by default, you can verify it by using <code>
- apache -V</code> and looking for a value labelled as
+ httpd.exe -V</code> and looking for a value labelled as
<code>HTTPD_ROOT</code>.</li>
</ol>
</p>
<example>
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Group\Apache\2.0.43
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Apache\2.3.2
</example>
<p>Correspondingly, if you chose to install Apache for the current
logged on:</p>
<example>
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Apache Group\Apache\2.0.43
+ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Apache\2.3.2
</example>
<p>This key is compiled into the server and can enable you to test
<p>If you happen to be running Apache on an alternate port, you
need to explicitly put that in the URL:</p>
-
+
<example>
- http://127.0.0.1:8080/
+ http://127.0.0.1:8080/
</example>
