| <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#serveradmin">ServerAdmin</a></code> and |
| <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#servertokens">ServerTokens</a></code> directives |
| control what information about the server will be presented |
| in server-generated documents such as error messages. The |
| <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#servertokens">ServerTokens</a></code> directive |
| sets the value of the Server HTTP response header field.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code> and |
| <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#usecanonicalname">UseCanonicalName</a></code> |
| directives are used by the server to determine how to construct |
| self-referential URLs. For example, when a client requests a |
| directory, but does not include the trailing slash in the |
| directory name, Apache must redirect the client to the full |
| name including the trailing slash so that the client will |
| correctly resolve relative references in the document.</p> |

| <p>These directives control the locations of the various files |
| that Apache needs for proper operation. When the pathname used |
| does not begin with a slash (/), the files are located relative |
| to the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>. Be careful |
| about locating files in paths which are writable by non-root users. |
| See the <a href="misc/security_tips.html#serverroot">security tips</a> |
| documentation for more details.</p> |

| <p>The <code class="directive">LimitRequest</code>* |
| directives are used to place limits on the amount of resources |
| Apache will use in reading requests from clients. By limiting |
| these values, some kinds of denial of service attacks can be |
| mitigated.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <code class="directive">RLimit</code>* directives |
| are used to limit the amount of resources which can be used by |
| processes forked off from the Apache children. In particular, |
| this will control resources used by CGI scripts and SSI exec |
| commands.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mpm_netware.html#threadstacksize">ThreadStackSize</a></code> directive |
| is used only on Netware to control the stack size.</p> |
