Using apachectl commands to start IBM HTTP Server

This topic describes how to start and stop IBM HTTP Server using the apachectl commands.

About this task

To start and stop IBM HTTP Server, use the apachectl command.

The apachectl command is located in the bin subdirectory within the IBM HTTP Server installation directory. If that directory is not in your PATH, the full path should be given on the command line.

[z/OS] Log on as the Web server user ID. This user ID must have an OMVS segment defined and a UID which is not zero. Verify that both the IBM HTTP Server product directory and the installation directory for the server instance are mounted and available.

Procedure

Results

To confirm that IBM HTTP Server started successfully, open a browser and type in your server name in the URL box.

If you are going to run Application Response Measurement (ARM) agents, make sure you have the authority to run ARM agents when you start IBM HTTP Server.

What to do next

You can configure your server for:
  • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
  • Lightweight Directory Access (LDAP)
  • [AIX] Fast Response Cache Accelerator (FRCA)

For more apachectl command options see Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server.
