How do I start, restart or stop Apache 2 web server under Ubuntu Linux operating systems?
/etc/init.d/apache2 is service script used to start / stop / restart the Apache2 service under Debian or Ubuntu Linux. You need to login as root or use sudo command restart Apache.
Task: Start Apache 2 Server
# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
or
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Task: Restart Apache 2 Server
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
or
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Task: Stop Apache 2 Server
# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
or
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
