How do i start/stop apache manually?

Apache is usually installed via linux or unix command apt, yum, pkgadd, etc. To start or stop apache manually you can invoke the apachectl command.

$ sudo /usr/local/bin/apachectl start

$ sudo /usr/local/bin/apachectl stop

Ideally you want it to start/stop during system start and system shutdown, via the servers init scripts or systemd.
