I want to port my application, which runs fine under OS X, to Windows7. I have
a PHP startup script, which launches httpd as follows:
// Now attempt to start apache
$cmd = '/usr/sbin/httpd -f "/path/to/my/config/file" 2>&1';
exec ($cmd, $results, $result);
if ($result!=0)
{
// Print contents of $results array and then exit
}
// Success in starting apache, carry on and do the next thing
Doing the above appears to satisfy these requirements:
1) start it in the background
2) redirect stderr to stdout so that any startup errors (e.g. bad config items)
get picked up and returned in $results in case of startup failure
What I'd like to know is whether the redirection is organised by the OS or by
apache itself - so do I do the same as above to pick up any stderr output from
apache under Win7, or is there a different mechanism?
Secondly, is (1) above satisfied because httpd, itself, relinquishes the
console and puts itself in the background at successful startup, or is it a
side-effect of putting 2>&1 in the above?
