I managed to run lynx with httpd.. Is this right?

Ok dylunio kindly showed me how to run httpd from CLI.

1) After i just type "httpd" at $, it just returns me back to $
Does this mean httpd is now running a process in the background?

2) Is there a way for me to check this using just httpd at the CLI? Some option on httpd command line.... My httpd -? list of options doesnt seem to provide a way to list processes.... (im googling also)

3) ok.. then i run "lynx http://localhost" from $ and I get the Apache server page. Does this mean the server is running on the linux machine?

Thanks.. it just helps me be certain before I move to the next step (ie: killing the process, determing where to loadmy html files to the linux, and tryign to see if i can access the webpage from outside)......

thanks all u guys uve been really friendly

To check if apache is running type

Code:

---

ps aux|grep httpd

---

if it spits out a few things containing httpd then it ir running.

the fact that you can access the apache screen via localhost says that it is up and running, and is accessable to at least the local network.
