| |
| This module is contained in the <code>mod_info.c</code> file. It |
| provides a comprehensive overview of the server configuration |
| including all installed modules and directives in the configuration |
| files. This module is not compiled into the |
| server by default. It is only available in Apache 1.1 and later. To |
| enable it, add the following line to the server build Configuration |
| file, and rebuild the server: |
| |
| <PRE> |
| Module info_module mod_info.o |
| </PRE> |
| |
| <HR> |
| <P> |
| To configure it, add the following to your <code>access.conf</code> file. |
| |
| <PRE> |
| <Location /server-info> |
| SetHandler server-info |
| </Location> |
| </PRE> |
| |
| You may wish to add a |
| <A |
| HREF="core.html#limit" |
| ><Limit></A> |
| clause inside the |
| <A |
| HREF="core.html#location" |
| >location</A> |
| directive to limit access to your server configuration information.<p> |
| Once configured, the server information is obtained by accessing |
| <tt>http://your.host.dom/server-info</tt><p> |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> |
| <STRONG> |
| Note that the configuration files are read by the module at run-time, |
| and therefore the display may <EM>not</EM> reflect the running |
| server's active configuration if the files have been changed since the |
| server was last reloaded. Also, the configuration files must be |
| readable by the user as which the server is running (see the |
| <A |
| HREF="core.html#user" |
| ><SAMP>User</SAMP></A> |
| directive), or else the directive settings will not be listed. |
| <P> |
| It should also be noted that if <SAMP>mod_info</SAMP> is compiled into |
| the server, its handler capability is available in <EM>all</EM> |
| configuration files, including <EM>per</EM>-directory files |
| (<EM>e.g.</EM>, <SAMP>.htaccess</SAMP>). This may have |
| security-related ramifications for your site. |
