<p>Apache is configured by placing <a href="mod/directives.html">directives</a> in plain text
|
||
configuration files. The main configuration file is usually called
|
||
<code>httpd.conf</code>. The location of this file is set at
|
||
compile-time, but may be overridden with the <code>-f</code>
|
||
command line flag. In addition, other configuration files may be
|
||
added using the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#include">Include</a></code>
|
||
directive, and wildcards can be used to include many configuration
|
||
files. Any directive may be placed in any of these configuration
|
||
files. Changes to the main configuration files are only
|
||
recognized by Apache when it is started or restarted.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The server also reads a file containing mime document types;
|
||
the filename is set by the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#typesconfig">TypesConfig</a></code> directive,
|
||
and is <code>mime.types</code> by default.</p>

<h2><a name="syntax" id="syntax">Syntax of the Configuration Files</a></h2>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Apache configuration files contain one directive per line.
|
||
The back-slash "\" may be used as the last character on a line
|
||
to indicate that the directive continues onto the next line.
|
||
There must be no other characters or white space between the
|
||
back-slash and the end of the line.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Directives in the configuration files are case-insensitive,
|
||
but arguments to directives are often case sensitive. Lines
|
||
that begin with the hash character "#" are considered
|
||
comments, and are ignored. Comments may <strong>not</strong> be
|
||
included on a line after a configuration directive. Blank lines
|
||
and white space occurring before a directive are ignored, so
|
||
you may indent directives for clarity.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You can check your configuration files for syntax errors
|
||
without starting the server by using <code>apachectl
|
||
configtest</code> or the <code>-t</code> command line
|
||
option.</p>

|

<p>Apache is a modular server. This implies that only the most
|
||
basic functionality is included in the core server. Extended
|
||
features are available through <a href="mod/">modules</a> which can be loaded
|
||
into Apache. By default, a <a href="mod/module-dict.html#Status">base</a> set of modules is
|
||
included in the server at compile-time. If the server is
|
||
compiled to use <a href="dso.html">dynamically loaded</a>
|
||
modules, then modules can be compiled separately and added at
|
||
any time using the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code>
|
||
directive.
|
||
Otherwise, Apache must be recompiled to add or remove modules.
|
||
Configuration directives may be included conditional on a
|
||
presence of a particular module by enclosing them in an <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#ifmodule"><IfModule></a></code> block.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To see which modules are currently compiled into the server,
|
||
you can use the <code>-l</code> command line option.</p>

|

|
||
<p>Directives placed in the main configuration files apply to
|
||
the entire server. If you wish to change the configuration for
|
||
only a part of the server, you can scope your directives by
|
||
placing them in <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#directorymatch"><DirectoryMatch></a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#files"><Files></a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#filesmatch"><FilesMatch></a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#locationmatch"><LocationMatch></a></code>
|
||
sections. These sections limit the application of the
|
||
directives which they enclose to particular filesystem
|
||
locations or URLs. They can also be nested, allowing for very
|
||
fine grained configuration.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Apache has the capability to serve many different websites
|
||
simultaneously. This is called <a href="vhosts/">Virtual
|
||
Hosting</a>. Directives can also be scoped by placing them
|
||
inside <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code>
|
||
sections, so that they will only apply to requests for a
|
||
particular website.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Although most directives can be placed in any of these
|
||
sections, some directives do not make sense in some contexts.
|
||
For example, directives controlling process creation can only
|
||
be placed in the main server context. To find which directives
|
||
can be placed in which sections, check the <a href="mod/directive-dict.html#Context">Context</a> of the
|
||
directive. For further information, we provide details on <a href="sections.html">How Directory, Location and Files sections
|
||
work</a>.</p>

<p>Apache allows for decentralized management of configuration
|
||
via special files placed inside the web tree. The special files
|
||
are usually called <code>.htaccess</code>, but any name can be
|
||
specified in the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#accessfilename">AccessFileName</a></code>
|
||
directive. Directives placed in <code>.htaccess</code> files
|
||
apply to the directory where you place the file, and all
|
||
sub-directories. The <code>.htaccess</code> files follow the
|
||
same syntax as the main configuration files. Since
|
||
<code>.htaccess</code> files are read on every request, changes
|
||
made in these files take immediate effect.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To find which directives can be placed in
|
||
<code>.htaccess</code> files, check the <a href="mod/directive-dict.html#Context">Context</a> of the
|
||
directive. The server administrator further controls what
|
||
directives may be placed in <code>.htaccess</code> files by
|
||
configuring the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#allowoverride">AllowOverride</a></code>
|
||
directive in the main configuration files.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>For more information on <code>.htaccess</code> files, see
|
||
the <a href="howto/htaccess.html">.htaccess tutorial</a>.</p>
