httpd -k remove locks up
also, <Directory "${ServerDirectory}/manual"> doesn't expand that variable name properly. makes a big mess.

'remove' is not a command it understands, when I try it Apache just starts like it would from a command prompt. Looks like nothing is happening but the server responds to requests. Just the cursor in the console sits there blinking is normal.
| Code: | -k restart : tell running Apache to do a graceful restart
-k stop|shutdown : tell running Apache to shutdown
-k install : install an Apache service
-k config : change startup Options of an Apache service
-k uninstall : uninstall an Apache service |
Try -k uninstall
As for ${ServerDirectory}, works for me. Did you define it before trying to use it?
| Code: | Define ServerDirectory "C:/Apache24"
ServerRoot "${ServerDirectory}"
DocumentRoot "${ServerDirectory}/htdocs"
<Directory "${ServerDirectory}/htdocs">
...
</Directory> |

so if it's an unrecognized command what do you do? you reject it with an error message.
otherwise, the user assumes the program's hung when instead it's happily serving up http instead.
I fail to understand your logic...
by the way, could -k install also perform a start? that's usually the next thing that's done anyway, yes? you could put out a pool for that if this bbcode has support for polls. |

OK, I agree in some part because an argument can be made that it breaks the principals of least surprise, you just did. So file a bug report, check first if one already exists and if it does chime in on it instead.
No, "-k install" will not start the server, it just installs the Windows Service. Right after it you use "-k start" or 'net start apache2.4' or with Apachemonitor or the Services Windows in Administrator Tools.
I see I missed this when I copy and pasted that list which by the way you can see the entire list of switches with 'httpd -h'.

that wasn't a request for more help. it was a suggestion for an apache modification. sorry for not making this more clear.
to install and start, to stop and uninstall should be integrated into install and uninstall.
saves the admin a step. maybe it makes for a bad admin habits, but maybe it sets the pace for other server programs like mysql, SMTP servers, ftp servers to do the same.  |
