Starting Standalone

To start the server, simply execute the binary.

If you are using ServerRoot other than /usr/local/etc/httpd, you will need to start the daemon with httpd -d /your/server/root, where /your/server/root is the setting of your ServerRoot directive.

If you are installing as root, you will probably want to automatically start httpd when the system comes up. This will be done through modifications to various files in /etc/rc* depending on your system. Consult your manuals for how to do this. Usually this is done in /etc/rc.local.
