Apache HTTPD Server Control

 

The  UnForm server will automatically start and stop the Apache web server instance controlled by it, and will restart it once per day in order to ensure daily log files are managed.  Beginning with 9.0.06, you can control the Apache HTTPD server independently of the main server as well, by creating transient files in the UnForm server directory.  The file names are httpd.stop, httpd.start, and httpd.restart.  The UnForm server monitors for these files and will signal the Apache server to perform the requested operation, then remove the file.  You can easily create these files from a command prompt, or your own method, though you need to ensure that the UnForm server can erase the file when its action is complete to prevent continuous attempts.

 

On Unix systems (including OS/X), use the touch command: 'touch httpd.restart', for example.

 

On Windows systems, use the echo command: '@echo XX >httpd.restart'.
