ServerType directive

Purpose

The ServerType directive sets how the server is executed by the system.

ServerType type

type is one of:

inetd
To run the server from the system process inetd. The system then does all socket and child management.
standalone
To run the server as a daemon process. The server then does all socket and child management.

Only one ServerType directive is allowed in the configuration file.

If you do not specify a ServerType, HTTPd assumes:

ServerType standalone

We recommend against running the server from inetd. Here's why.

ServerType standalone

ServerType inetd
