Starting the IBM HTTP Server

To start the IBM HTTP Server:

  1. Start a command prompt.

  2. Navigate to the <ibm_http_server_location>\bin<ibm_http_server_location>/bin directory and issue the start command with the -k option. For example:

    cd Z:\IBM\HTTPServer\bin

    apache.exe -k start

    cd /u01/IBM/HTTPServer/bin

    ./apachectl -k start

This command is case sensitive.

Tip: The IBM HTTP Server can also be started through the Windows Services Applet.
Note: Starting with Tools Release 8.97, you can use the Server Manager to start the IBM HTTP Server process.
