Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0
httpd
is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) server program. It is designed to be run as a standalone
daemon process. When used like this it will create a pool of
child processes or threads to handle requests.
In general, httpd
should not be invoked directly,
but rather should be invoked via apachectl on Unix-based systems or as a service on Windows NT,
2000 and XP and as
a console application on Windows 9x and ME.
