apache 重启命令

apachectl

is a front end to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the administrator control the functioning of
the Apache

httpd

daemon.
The

apachectl

script can operate in two modes. First, it can act as a simple front-end to the

httpd

command
that simply sets any necessary environment variables and then invokes

httpd

,
passing through any command line arguments. Second,

apachectl

can act as a SysV init script, taking simple one-word arguments like

start

,

restart

,
and

stop

, and translating them into appropriate signals to

httpd

.
If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to edit the

apachectl

script to set the appropriate paths to the

httpd

binary.
You can also specify any necessary

httpd

command
line arguments. See the comments in the script for details.
The

apachectl

script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs. For more details, view the comments in the script.

Synopsis

When acting in pass-through mode,

apachectl

can take all the arguments available for the

httpd

binary.

apachectl [ httpd-argument ]

When acting in SysV init mode,

apachectl

takes simple, one-word commands, defined below.

apachectl command

Options

Only the SysV init-style options are defined here. Other arguments are defined on the

httpd

manual
page.

start

Start the Apache

httpd

daemon.
Gives an error if it is already running. This is equivalent to

apachectl -k start

.

stop

Stops the Apache

httpd

daemon.
This is equivalent to

apachectl -k stop

.

restart

Restarts the Apache

httpd

daemon.
If the daemon is not running, it is started. This command automatically checks the configuration files as in

configtest

before initiating the restart to make sure the daemon doesn't
die. This is equivalent to

apachectl -k restart

.

fullstatus

Displays a full status report from

mod_status

.
For this to work, you need to have

mod_status

enabled
on your server and a text-based browser such as

lynx

available on your system. The URL used to access the status report can be set by editing the

STATUSURL

variable
in the script.

status

Displays a brief status report. Similar to the

fullstatus

option, except that the list of requests currently being served is omitted.

graceful

Gracefully restarts the Apache

httpd

daemon.
If the daemon is not running, it is started. This differs from a normal restart in that currently open connections are not aborted. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. This means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial
delay may be necessary to ensure that the old log files are closed before processing them. This command automatically checks the configuration files as in

configtest

before initiating
the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die. This is equivalent to

apachectl -k graceful

.

configtest

Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration files and either reports

Syntax Ok

or detailed information about the particular syntax
error. This is equivalent to

apachectl -t

.

The following additional option is available, but deprecated.

startssl

This is equivalent to

apachectl -k start -DSSL

. We recommend that you use that command explicitly, or you adjust your

httpd.conf

to
remove the

<IfDefine>

section
so that SSL will always be available.
