Apache Module mod_info
Description: This module provides a comprehensive overview of the server configuration including all installed modules and directives in the configuration files. Status: Extension Module Identifier: info_module Compatibility: Available in Apache 1.1 and later Summary
Using mod_info
To configure it, add the following to your
httpd.conf
file.You may wish to add a
<Location /server-info>
SetHandler server-info
</Location>
<Limit>
clause inside the<location>
directive to limit access to your server configuration information.Once configured, the server information is obtained by accessing
http://your.host.dom/server-info
Note that the configuration files are read by the module at run-time, and therefore the display may not 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 User
directive), or else the directive settings will not be listed.It should also be noted that if
mod_info
is compiled into the server, its handler capability is available in all configuration files, including per-directory files (e.g.,.htaccess
). This may have security-related ramifications for your site.Directives
