- Remove documentation on command line options from invoking.html
since the man pages are now in the html docs. - Move information on "starting the server" from install.html to a more proper location "invoking.html" - Add a few more details here and there. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@87877 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

-<H3>Starting and Stopping the Server</H3>
-
-To start the server, simply run <CODE>httpd</CODE>. This will look for
-<CODE>httpd.conf</CODE> in the location compiled into the code (by
-default <CODE>/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf</CODE>). If
-this file is somewhere else, you can give the real
-location with the -f argument. For example:
-
-<PRE>
- /usr/local/apache/httpd -f /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
-</PRE>
-
-If all goes well this will return to the command prompt almost
-immediately. This indicates that the server is now up and running. If
-anything goes wrong during the initialization of the server you will
-see an error message on the screen.
-
-If the server started ok, you can now use your browser to
-connect to the server and read the documentation. If you are running
-the browser on the same machine as the server and using the default
-port of 80, a suitable URL to enter into your browser is
-
-<PRE>
- http://localhost/
-</PRE>
-
-<P>
-
-Note that when the server starts it will create a number of
-<EM>child</EM> processes to handle the requests. If you started Apache
-as the root user, the parent process will continue to run as root
-while the children will change to the user as given in the httpd.conf
-file.
-
-<P>
-
-If when you run <CODE>httpd</CODE> it complained about being unable to
-"bind" to an address, then either some other process is already using
-the port you have configured Apache to use, or you are running httpd
-as a normal user but trying to use a port below 1024 (such as the
-default port 80).
-
-<P>
-
-If the server is not running, read the error message displayed
-when you run httpd. You should also check the server
-error_log for additional information (with the default configuration,
-this will be located in the file <CODE>error_log</CODE> in the
-<CODE>logs</CODE> directory).
-
-<P>
-
-If you want your server to continue running after a system reboot, you
-should add a call to <CODE>httpd</CODE> to your system startup files
-(typically <CODE>rc.local</CODE> or a file in an
-<CODE>rc.<EM>N</EM></CODE> directory). This will start Apache as root.
-Before doing this ensure that your server is properly configured
-for security and access restrictions.
-
-<P>
-
-To stop Apache send the parent process a TERM signal. The PID of this
-process is written to the file <CODE>httpd.pid</CODE> in the
-<CODE>logs</CODE> directory (unless configured otherwise). Do not
-attempt to kill the child processes because they will be renewed by
-the parent. A typical command to stop the server is:
-
-<PRE>
- kill -TERM `cat /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid`
-</PRE>
-
-<P>

-For more information about Apache command line options, configuration
-and log files, see <A HREF="invoking.html">Starting Apache</A>. For a
-reference guide to all Apache directives supported by the distributed
-modules, see the <A HREF="mod/directives.html">Apache directives</A>.
