While Kelly is correct, I do not recommend this approach for running a webserver.

If you do this, the httpd process (such as Apache) must be started -each time- someone hits any part of your pages.  It's rather (ok, painfully) slow.  Only do this if you have extremely limited memory, and don't mind visitors having to wait for the web server to load.

For Apache, check out the "ServerType" configuration directive; it should normally be set to "standalone", in 99% of cases.
