starting apache from the command line

[cwalcott]

Where are the startup scripts for apache kept? I'm familiar with how it's done with solaris. I see that httpd.conf is in /etc/httpd but I don't see where the start scripts are.

The reason why I ask is because I was working on the server remotely and somehow apache either crashed or suddenly quit on me. Either way, the only way I could find to restart it was to be at the machine and use the GUI Server Admin.

Thanks!

If you mean the equivalent to /etc/rc?.d scripts, that's in /System/Library/StartupItems; however, to start Apache from the CLI:

apachectl start

(which is in fact what the startup script for Apache does).
