apachectl:hosts:list

The command apachectl -S is used to display the virtual host configuration details for an Apache HTTP server.

When executed, this command provides a list of all the virtual hosts that are configured on the server, along with their associated information such as server names, document root directories, port numbers, and SSL/TLS certificates.

The output of apachectl -S usually includes the following details for each virtual host:

• The virtual host's number (in the order they were read from the configuration files).
• The IP address and port number on which the virtual host listens.
• The server name(s) associated with the virtual host.
• The document root directory of the virtual host.
• Any aliases or alternate names for the virtual host.
• The SSL/TLS certificate details (if the virtual host is configured for secure connections).

This command is useful because it provides a convenient way to verify the virtual host configuration and can help in troubleshooting issues related to misconfigured or conflicting settings among virtual hosts on an Apache server.
