Hmmm...
$ httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.24 (Cygwin)
Server built: Apr 27 2002 13:23:27
$ man httpd
httpd(8) httpd(8)
NAME
httpd - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server
SYNOPSIS
httpd [ -X ] [ -R libexecdir ] [ -d serverroot ] [ -f con-
fig ] [ -C directive ] [ -c directive ] [ -D parameter ]
httpd [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -L ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -S ] [ -t ] [
-T ]
DESCRIPTION
httpd is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
server program. It is designed to be run as a standalone
daemon process. When used like this it will create a pool
of child processes to handle requests. To stop it, send a
TERM signal to the initial (parent) process. The PID of
this process is written to a file as given in the configu-
ration file. Alternatively httpd may be invoked by the
Internet daemon inetd(8) each time a connection to the
HTTP service is made.
Don't see a -k option. Perhaps I need to find the "-3" version of Apache
for Cygwin. It's funny because my local installation seems to have
1.3.24-5. Man page bug? What exactly does -k do? (Just tried it and it
seems to solve the problem beautifully)
