This topic describes how to start and stop IBM HTTP Server using the apachectl commands.
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.
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.
For more apachectl command options see Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server.
