6.9 Checking the Status of Each Web Server

You can verify the health of each individual Web server and you can restart each one individually, from the Server Status table.

Figure 6-2 Web Server Status

Server Status table showing the current health of two Apache Web servers: One running on Windows, and the other running on NetWare.

In the Server Status table, a Green Check Mark Icon indicates that Apache is currently responding to the daemon and the current configuration is valid. A Red X Icon indicates that Apache is down. Apache might be down at the request of an administrator.

The Last Configuration Update column indicates the date of the last configuration update by the Apache daemon. If the configuration file has been manually modified, this field reads MOD_BY_HAND.

To restart one or more Apache Web servers from the Server Status list:

  1. In the Directives frame of Multiple Server Administration, scroll down if necessary to the Server Status table.

  2. Select the check boxes in the Restart column in the row of each server that you want to restart.

  3. Click Restart Servers.
