httpd.conf – Apache HTTP server configuration file
Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
the directives.
Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
what they do. They’re here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
consult the online docs. You have been warned.
After this file is processed, the server will look for and process
/usr/local/apache/conf/srm.conf and then /usr/local/apache/conf/access.conf
unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or
AccessConfig directives here.
The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
whole (the ‘global environment’).
2. Directives that define the parameters of the ‘main’ or ‘default’ server,
which responds to requests that aren’t handled by a virtual host.
These directives also provide default values for the settings
of all virtual hosts.
3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
same Apache server process.
Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
of the server’s control files begin with “/” (or “drive:/” for Win32), the
server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do not begin
with “/”, the value of ServerRoot is prepended – so “logs/foo.log”
with ServerRoot set to “/usr/local/apache” will be interpreted by the
server as “/usr/local/apache/logs/foo.log”.
Section 1: Global Environment
The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
can find its configuration files.
ServerType is either inetd, or standalone. Inetd mode is only supported on
Unix platforms.
ServerType standalone
ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server’s
configuration, error, and log files are kept.
NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
ServerRoot “/usr/local/apache”
The LockFile directive sets the path to the lockfile used when Apache
is compiled with either USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or
USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. This directive should normally be left at
its default value. The main reason for changing it is if the logs
directory is NFS mounted, since the lockfile MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL
DISK. The PID of the main server process is automatically appended to
the filename.
#LockFile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.lock
PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
identification number when it starts.
PidFile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid
ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
Not all architectures require this. But if yours does (you’ll know because
this file will be created when you run Apache) then you must ensure that
no two invocations of Apache share the same scoreboard file.
ScoreBoardFile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.scoreboard
In the standard configuration, the server will process this file,
srm.conf, and access.conf in that order. The latter two files are
now distributed empty, as it is recommended that all directives
be kept in a single file for simplicity. The commented-out values
below are the built-in defaults. You can have the server ignore
these files altogether by using “/dev/null” (for Unix) or
“nul” (for Win32) for the arguments to the directives.
#ResourceConfig conf/srm.conf
#AccessConfig conf/access.conf
Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
Timeout 300
KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
one request per connection). Set to “Off” to deactivate.
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
same client on the same connection.
KeepAliveTimeout 15
Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess how many
server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it
sees — that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to
handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient
load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single
Netscape browser).
It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting
for a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates
a new spare. If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
spares die off. The default values are probably OK for most sites.
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 20
Number of servers to start initially — should be a reasonable ballpark
figure.
StartServers 15
Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number
of clients who can simultaneously connect — if this limit is ever
reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW.
It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking
the system with it as it spirals down…
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so
as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems, this
isn’t really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks
in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000
or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited.
NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial
request per connection. For example, if a child process handles
an initial request and 10 subsequent “keptalive” requests, it
would only count as 1 request towards this limit.
MaxRequestsPerChild 60
Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
ports, in addition to the default. See also the
directive.
#Listen 3000
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
SSL Support
When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
Listen 80
Listen 443
BindAddress: You can support virtual hosts with this option. This directive
is used to tell the server which IP address to listen to. It can either
contain “*”, an IP address, or a fully qualified Internet domain name.
See also the and Listen directives.
#BindAddress *
Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
have to place corresponding `LoadModule’ lines at this location so the
directives contained in it are actually available before they are used.
Please read the file README.DSO in the Apache 1.3 distribution for more
details about the DSO mechanism and run `httpd -l’ for the list of already
built-in (statically linked and thus always available) modules in your httpd
binary.
Note: The order is which modules are loaded is important. Don’t change
the order below without expert advice.
Example:
LoadModule foo_module libexec/mod_foo.so
ExtendedStatus controls whether Apache will generate “full” status
information (ExtendedStatus On) or just basic information (ExtendedStatus
Off) when the “server-status” handler is called. The default is Off.
ExtendedStatus On
Section 2: ‘Main’ server configuration
The directives in this section set up the values used by the ‘main’
server, which responds to any requests that aren’t handled by a
definition. These values also provide defaults for
any containers you may define later in the file.
All of these directives may appear inside containers,
in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
virtual host being defined.
If your ServerType directive (set earlier in the ‘Global Environment’
section) is set to “inetd”, the next few directives don’t have any
effect since their settings are defined by the inetd configuration.
Skip ahead to the ServerAdmin directive.
Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. For
ports < 1023, you will need httpd to be run as root initially.
Port 80
If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
httpd as root initially and it will switch.
User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
. On SCO (ODT 3) use “User nouser” and “Group nogroup”.
. On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
don’t use Group nobody on these systems!
User nobody
Group nobody
ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
as error documents.
ServerAdmin tech@ovh.net
ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for
your server if it’s different than the one the program would get (i.e., use
“www” instead of the host’s real name).
Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you
define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don’t understand
this, ask your network administrator.
If your host doesn’t have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
You will have to access it by its address (e.g., 123.45.67.89…)
anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.
ServerName ns353238.ovh.net
DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
DocumentRoot “/usr/local/apache/htdocs”
Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with respect
to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
directory (and its subdirectories).
First, we configure the “default” to be a very restrictive set of
permissions.
Options Includes ExecCGI MultiViews FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
particular features to be enabled - so if something’s not working as
you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
below.
This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
<Directory “/usr/local/apache/htdocs”>
This may also be “None”, “All”, or any combination of “Indexes”,
“Includes”, “FollowSymLinks”, “ExecCGI”, or “MultiViews”.
Note that “MultiViews” must be named explicitly — “Options All”
doesn’t give it to you.
Options Includes ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
override. Can also be “All”, or any combination of “Options”, “FileInfo”,
“AuthConfig”, and “Limit”
AllowOverride All
Controls who can get stuff from this server.
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user’s home
directory if a ~user request is received.
UserDir www
Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
#
DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.htm index.cgi index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.wml index.asp
AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
for access control information.
AccessFileName .htaccess
The following lines prevent .htaccess files from being viewed by
Web clients. Since .htaccess files often contain authorization
information, access is disallowed for security reasons. Comment
these lines out if you want Web visitors to see the contents of
.htaccess files. If you change the AccessFileName directive above,
be sure to make the corresponding changes here.
Also, folks tend to use names such as .htpasswd for password
files, so this will protect those as well.
<Files ~ “^.ht”>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
CacheNegotiatedDocs: By default, Apache sends “Pragma: no-cache” with each
document that was negotiated on the basis of content. This asks proxy
servers not to cache the document. Uncommenting the following line disables
this behavior, and proxies will be allowed to cache the documents.
#CacheNegotiatedDocs
UseCanonicalName: (new for 1.3) With this setting turned on, whenever
Apache needs to construct a self-referencing URL (a URL that refers back
to the server the response is coming from) it will use ServerName and
Port to form a “canonical” name. With this setting off, Apache will
use the hostname:port that the client supplied, when possible. This
also affects SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT in CGI scripts.
UseCanonicalName On
TypesConfig describes where the mime.types file (or equivalent) is
to be found.
TypesConfig /usr/local/apache/conf/mime.types
DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document
if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, “text/plain” is
a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications
or images, you may want to use “application/octet-stream” instead to
keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
text.
DefaultType text/plain
The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints from the
contents of the file itself to determine its type. The MIMEMagicFile
directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located.
mod_mime_magic is not part of the default server (you have to add
it yourself with a LoadModule [see the DSO paragraph in the 'Global
Environment’ section], or recompile the server and include mod_mime_magic
as part of the configuration), so it’s enclosed in an container.
This means that the MIMEMagicFile directive will only be processed if the
module is part of the server.
MIMEMagicFile /usr/local/apache/conf/magic
HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses
e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).
The default is off because it’d be overall better for the net if people
had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that
each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the
nameserver.
HostnameLookups on
ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a
container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
logged here. If you do define an error logfile for a
container, that host’s errors will be logged there and not here.
ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.
Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
a CustomLog directive (see below).
LogFormat “%h %l %u %t “%r” %>s %b “%{Referer}i” “%{User-Agent}i”” combined
LogFormat “%h %l %u %t “%r” %>s %b” common
LogFormat “%{Referer}i -> %U” referer
LogFormat “%{User-agent}i” agent
The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format).
If you do not define any access logfiles within a
container, they will be logged here. Contrariwise, if you do
define per- access logfiles, transactions will be
logged therein and not in this file.
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log common
If you would like to have agent and referer logfiles, uncomment the
following directives.
#CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/referer_log referer
#CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/agent_log agent
If you prefer a single logfile with access, agent, and referer information
(Combined Logfile Format) you can use the following directive.
#CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log combined
Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
name to server-generated pages (error documents, FTP directory listings,
mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated documents).
Set to “EMail” to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
Set to one of: On | Off | EMail
Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is
Alias fakename realname
#
# Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL. So "/icons" isn't aliased in this
# example, only "/icons/"..
#
Alias /icons/ "/usr/local/apache/icons/"
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/icons">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny

#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
#
# "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

Redirect allows you to tell clients about documents which used to exist in
your server’s namespace, but do not anymore. This allows you to tell the
clients where to look for the relocated document.

#
# For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see

#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-tar .tgz
#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers",
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action command (see below)
#
# If you want to use server side includes, or CGI outside
# ScriptAliased directories, uncomment the following lines.
#
# To use CGI scripts:
#
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
#
# To use server-parsed HTML files
#
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
#
# Uncomment the following line to enable Apache's send-asis HTTP file
# feature
#
#AddHandler send-as-is asis

#
# To enable type maps, you might want to use

2) local redirects
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
to redirect to local URL /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl
N.B.: You can redirect to a script or a document using server-side-includes.
3) external redirects
#ErrorDocument 402 some.other_server.com…
N.B.: Many of the environment variables associated with the original
request will not be available to such a script.

Section 3: Virtual Hosts
VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them.
for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
You may use the command line option ‘-S’ to verify your virtual host
configuration.
If you want to use name-based virtual hosts you need to define at
least one IP address (and port number) for them.
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80

Pass Phrase Dialog:
Configure the pass phrase gathering process.
The filtering dialog program (`builtin’ is a internal
terminal dialog) has to provide the pass phrase on stdout.
SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin
Inter-Process Session Cache:
Configure the SSL Session Cache: First the mechanism
to use and second the expiring timeout (in seconds).
#SSLSessionCache none
#SSLSessionCache shmht:logs/ssl_scache(512000)
#SSLSessionCache shmcb:logs/ssl_scache(512000)
SSLSessionCache dbm:logs/ssl_scache
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300
Semaphore:
Configure the path to the mutual exclusion semaphore the
SSL engine uses internally for inter-process synchronization.
SSLMutex file:logs/ssl_mutex
Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG):
Configure one or more sources to seed the PRNG of the
SSL library. The seed data should be of good random quality.
WARNING! On some platforms /dev/random blocks if not enough entropy
is available. This means you then cannot use the /dev/random device
because it would lead to very long connection times (as long as
it requires to make more entropy available). But usually those
platforms additionally provide a /dev/urandom device which doesn’t
block. So, if available, use this one instead. Read the mod_ssl User
Manual for more details.
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin

Logging:
The home of the dedicated SSL protocol logfile. Errors are
additionally duplicated in the general error log file. Put
this somewhere where it cannot be used for symlink attacks on
a real server (i.e. somewhere where only root can write).
Log levels are (ascending order: higher ones include lower ones):
none, error, warn, info, trace, debug.
