Processing config directives from the command line

Michael Andrews <michael.andrews@xxxxxxx> · Fri, 21 Sep 2007 17:43:20 -0400

I have removed the Listen directive from my config and would like to  

set it from the command line. I assume that is what the -C/c flags  

are for:

% ./apachectl -C "Listen 8080" -k start

I keep getting dumped in to the -help and syntax page of httpd. It  

does not seem to like the syntax. When I remove the 8080 (the value  

part to the Listen directive) I get this:

% ./apachectl -C "Listen" -k start
Syntax error on line 1 of -c/-C directives:
Listen requires 1 or 2 arguments.

I thought simple quotes would work - but it does not seem to. Any  

suggestions or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
M
