I want to be able to start an apache server from the command line, typing something like apache site-folder
or apache . --port=2000
This should read and use .htaccess
files.
I know about python -m SimpleHTTPServer
and it's close to what I need, but not quite.
Ideal solutions:
- Contributing a great command line interface to apache itself
- Writing a simple command line tool that wraps/contains apache (or something)
- Linking to docs on an existing cli for apache
I just want to type command <Directory> --port=8000 --other-options
The command name could also be pache
At some point I may want to use this in production. It should be easy to send the process to the background, and then stop that instance or all instances, like forever
Relevant links: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/httpd.html
Also
It should be only one command for anyone to install the script for immediate use
http-server
is a much better simple http server than pache, it's what I use currently! :)
