Starting Apache on Solaris and Linux

In general, you should start Apache with the same user that installed the Application Server. You must start Apache as root under the following circumstances:

• If you are a Java Enterprise System user.

• If you've used port numbers which are less than 1024.

• If Apache runs as a different user from the user that starts it.

To start Apache in SSL mode, use one of the following commands:

apachetl startssl or apachetl -k start -DSSL

If needed, check the Apache web site for the latest information on starting the Apache server.
