[users@httpd] Turning Off Apache
I decided to take another shot at virtual hosts. It
turned into a major disaster the last time I tried,
but I can see now that I have little choice but go the
virtual host route.
But I immediately got stuck on somethin much simpler -
shutting down Apache. I have Apache installed as a
service on Windows XP, so I never have to turn it on
or off. The quickest, simplest way to turn Apache off
is to open Windows Task Manager and just kill it. Is
this OK, or can it damage something?
The instructions say the command to turn Apache off is
apache -k stop, or apache -k shutdown. I can't type
anything in Apache's "daemon," or whatever it's
called. So I have to use Windows "command prompt,"
right?
At any rate, I typed both commands into command
prompt, and had no luck. I thought perhaps I need to
navigate to the Apache folder first, so I managed to
change directories to c:\xampp\apache\, and I still
struck out.
Surely there's an easier way to turn off Apache. (Or
do I absolutely have to turn it off before I can set
up a virtual host?) Any tips?
Thanks.

Assuming you're using W2K Server (or perhaps W2K), if you'll select
"Settings", "Taskbar & Start Menu", then the "Advanced" tab, you'll find a
checkbox named "Display Administrative Tools". If you select it, you'll
find the admin tools under the start menu. Then you can properly start and
stop Apache using the services control as described.
Hope this helps.

You need to find the 'Administrative Tools->Services' path, look also
under:
'Start Menu->Control Panel->Performance and Maintenance->Administrative
Tools->Services'.
If you have Apache set up as a service it will be listed there (probably
near the top of the list - mine is 4th down, listed as Apache2).

Hmmmm... I'm getting confused. I finally decided to
try the Window Task Manager. I opened the Processes
pane and killed Apache. At least, I thought I zapped
it. I modified my files, restarted my computer, and
everything works just fine.

I'm confused again. Are you talking about the start
menu where you access your software programs on
Windows? I scanned it and saw no mention of
Administrative Tools. I don't recall ever seeing
Apache listed in there.
And the weirdest thing of all...
I tried out the "constant" PHP link includes someone
encouraged me to use; they're the reason I decided to
set up virtual hosting in the first place.
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .= '/geobop';
include
($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/../includes/head.php");
?>
</head>
<body>
<?php include
($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/../include/top.php"); ?>
They work, but only after I inserted an extra segment
- ../ - in front of include/head.php, include/top.php,
etc.
But the oddest thing is that it worked online, even
though I inadvertently published it with the wrong
value where it says "geobop." To test it, I published
it with a third value, and it works. But if I remove
it entirely, it doesn't work at all.
It would make more sense if I was drunk!

The correct way to shut down the Apache service is through the 'Start
Menu'->'Administrative Tools'->'Services'. Highlight Apache and you can
stop,start, and restart (auto stop,start) Apache from there.

Only if you run apache from the command line and NOT as a service. If you
run it as a service, ctrl-c won't help anything.

I run Apache on WindowsXP. Can't David just hit "Control-C" to shut it
down? That's what I do.

"I still struck out" and "had no luck" are incredibly non-descriptive.
What exactly happened? If you got "apache is not a recognized program
..." then you haven't yet found the correct directory. You probably need
the "bin" directory under the apache install.

Apache is just a standard service and can be controlled in the same way as
other services. For example, you can use the service manager, or you can
type
net stop apache2
at the command prompt (assuming apache2 is the name of your service).
It is also likely that you have the apache service montior running: it is
a little red feather with a green arrow in your tray (lower right). Click
on this to get an app which can be used to control apache.
