When you bring an Apache HTTP server online outside of VCS control, first source its environment file. Start the server with the -f option so the server knows which instance to start. You can then specify additional options (such as EnableSSL or SharedObjDir) that you want the server to use at start.
To start an Apache HTTP server outside of VCS control
httpdDir/httpd -f ConfigFile -k start
In the above-mentioned command, replace httpdDir with /apache/v2.2/bin and ConfigFile with /apache/v2.2/conf/httpd.conf. When fully formed, the start example looks like:
/apache/v2.2/bin/httpd -f /apache/v2.2/conf/httpd.conf -k start
httpdDir/httpd -f ConfigFile -k start -DSSL
