Hi,

I have installed apache web server ...now i need to enable PHp with apache...for that i try to uncomment the add modules and ADD Type line in httpd.conf file...but in that file already uncommented those lines....what i shoud do now...try to help me...what is the wrong with that file..please help in this regard...

##

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.

See <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/> for detailed information about

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/conf/srm.conf and then /usr/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

(available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile>);

you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

#

Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

#
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

#

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 /var/lock/httpd.lock

#

PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process

identification number when it starts.

#
PidFile /var/run/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 /var/run/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 5
MaxSpareServers 20

#

Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable ballpark

figure.

#
StartServers 8

#

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 100

#

Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

directive.

#
#Listen 3000
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

#

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 <VirtualHost> 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.

#

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

<VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for

any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.

#

All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> 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 apache
Group apache

#

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 root@localhost

#

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., http://123.45.67.89/)

anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.

#
#ServerName localhost

#

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 "/var/www/html"

#

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.

#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

#

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 "/var/www/html">

#

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 Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks

#

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 None

#

Controls who can get stuff from this server.

#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

#

UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home

directory if a ~user request is received.

#

The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be

accessible to the webserver userid. This usually means that ~userid

must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions

of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable.

Otherwise, the client will only receive a "403 Forbidden" message.

#

See also: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden

#
UserDir public_html

#

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

<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Limit>

<Limit PUT DELETE PATCH PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

</Limit>

#</Directory>

#

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.htm index.shtml index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi

#

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
</Files>

#

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 /etc/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 <IfModule> container.

This means that the MIMEMagicFile directive will only be processed if the

module is part of the server.

#
<IfModule mod_mime_magic.c>
MIMEMagicFile conf/magic
</IfModule>

#

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 Off

#

ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.

If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>

container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be

logged here. If you do define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>

container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.

#
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/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 <VirtualHost>

container, they will be logged here. Contrariwise, if you do

define per-<VirtualHost> access logfiles, transactions will be

logged therein and not in this file.

#

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log common

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined

#

If you would like to have agent and referer logfiles, uncomment the

following directives.

#
#CustomLog /var/log/httpd/referer_log referer
#CustomLog /var/log/httpd/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 /var/log/httpd/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

#
ServerSignature On

#

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/ "/var/www/icons/"

<Directory "/var/www/icons">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

#

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/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

#

"/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

#

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.

Format: Redirect old-URI new-URL

#

#

Directives controlling the display of server-generated directory listings.

#

#

FancyIndexing: whether you want fancy directory indexing or standard

#
IndexOptions FancyIndexing

#

AddIcon* directives tell the server which icon to show for different

files or filename extensions. These are only displayed for

FancyIndexed directories.

#
AddIconByEncoding (CMP,/icons/compressed.gif) x-compress x-gzip

#

DefaultIcon: which icon to show for files which do not have an icon

explicitly set.

#
DefaultIcon /icons/unknown.gif

#

AddDescription: allows you to place a short description after a file in

server-generated indexes. These are only displayed for FancyIndexed

directories.

Format: AddDescription "description" filename

#
#AddDescription "GZIP compressed document" .gz
#AddDescription "tar archive" .tar
#AddDescription "GZIP compressed tar archive" .tgz

#

ReadmeName: the name of the README file the server will look for by

default, and append to directory listings.

#

HeaderName: the name of a file which should be prepended to

directory indexes.

#

The server will first look for name.html and include it if found.

If name.html doesn't exist, the server will then look for name.txt

and include it as plaintext if found.

#
ReadmeName README.html
HeaderName HEADER.html

#

IndexIgnore: a set of filenames which directory indexing should ignore

and not include in the listing. Shell-style wildcarding is permitted.

#
IndexIgnore .?? ~ # HEADER README RCS CVS ,v *,t

#

AddEncoding: allows you to have certain browsers (Mosaic/X 2.1+) uncompress

information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.

Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing

to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.

#
AddEncoding x-compress Z
AddEncoding x-gzip gz tgz

#

AddLanguage: allows you to specify the language of a document. You can

then use content negotiation to give a browser a file in a language

it can understand. Note that the suffix does not have to be the same

as the language keyword --- those with documents in Polish (whose

net-standard language code is pl) may wish to use "AddLanguage pl .po"

to avoid the ambiguity with the common suffix for perl scripts.

#
AddLanguage en .en
AddLanguage fr .fr
AddLanguage de .de
AddLanguage da .da
AddLanguage el .el
AddLanguage it .it

#

LanguagePriority: allows you to give precedence to some languages

in case of a tie during content negotiation.

Just list the languages in decreasing order of preference.

#
LanguagePriority en fr de

#

AddType: allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to

make certain files to be certain types.

#

The following is for PHP4 (conficts with PHP/FI, below):

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php3 .phtml .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

The following is for PHP3:

<IfModule mod_php3.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
</IfModule>

The following is for PHP/FI (PHP2):

<IfModule mod_php.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
</IfModule>

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

#

If you wish to use server-parsed imagemap files, use

#
AddHandler imap-file map

#

To enable type maps, you might want to use

#
#AddHandler type-map var

#

Action: lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever

a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL

pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.

Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location

Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location

#

#

MetaDir: specifies the name of the directory in which Apache can find

meta information files. These files contain additional HTTP headers

to include when sending the document

#
#MetaDir .web

#

MetaSuffix: specifies the file name suffix for the file containing the

meta information.

#
#MetaSuffix .meta

#

Customizable error response (Apache style)

these come in three flavors

#

1) plain text

#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo.

n.b. the (") marks it as text, it does not get output

#

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 http://some.other_server.com/subscription_info.html

N.B.: Many of the environment variables associated with the original

request will not be available to such a script.

#

The following directives modify normal HTTP response behavior.

The first directive disables keepalive for Netscape 2.x and browsers that

spoof it. There are known problems with these browser implementations.

The second directive is for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0b2

which has a broken HTTP/1.1 implementation and does not properly

support keepalive when it is used on 301 or 302 (redirect) responses.

#
BrowserMatch "Mozilla/2" nokeepalive
BrowserMatch "MSIE 4.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

#

The following directive disables HTTP/1.1 responses to browsers which

are in violation of the HTTP/1.0 spec by not being able to grok a

basic 1.1 response.

#
BrowserMatch "RealPlayer 4.0" force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch "Java/1.0" force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch "JDK/1.0" force-response-1.0

If the perl module is installed, this will be enabled.

<IfModule mod_perl.c>
Alias /perl/ /var/www/perl/
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
</IfModule>

#

Allow http put (such as Netscape Gold's publish feature)

Use htpasswd to generate /etc/httpd/conf/passwd.

You must unremark these two lines at the top of this file as well:

#LoadModule put_module modules/mod_put.so
#AddModule mod_put.c
#
#Alias /upload /tmp
#<Location /upload>

EnablePut On

AuthType Basic

AuthName Temporary

AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd

EnableDelete Off

umask 007

<Limit PUT>

require valid-user

</Limit>

#</Location>

#

Allow server status reports, with the URL of http://servername/server-status

Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable.

#
#<Location /server-status>

SetHandler server-status

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from .your_domain.com

#</Location>

#

Allow remote server configuration reports, with the URL of

http://servername/server-info (requires that mod_info.c be loaded).

Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable.

#
#<Location /server-info>

SetHandler server-info

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from .your_domain.com

#</Location>

Allow access to local system documentation from localhost

Alias /doc/ /usr/share/doc/
<Location /doc>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from localhost .localdomain
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Location>

#

There have been reports of people trying to abuse an old bug from pre-1.1

days. This bug involved a CGI script distributed as a part of Apache.

By uncommenting these lines you can redirect these attacks to a logging

script on phf.apache.org. Or, you can record them yourself, using the script

support/phf_abuse_log.cgi.

#
#<Location /cgi-bin/phf*>

Deny from all

ErrorDocument 403 http://phf.apache.org/phf_abuse_log.cgi

#</Location>

#

Proxy Server directives. Uncomment the following lines to

enable the proxy server:

#
#<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
#ProxyRequests On
#
#<Directory proxy:*>

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from .your_domain.com

#</Directory>

#

Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.

("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)

Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block

#
#ProxyVia On

#

To enable the cache as well, edit and uncomment the following lines:

(no cacheing without CacheRoot)

#
#CacheRoot "/var/cache/httpd"
#CacheSize 5
#CacheGcInterval 4
#CacheMaxExpire 24
#CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1
#CacheDefaultExpire 1
#NoCache a_domain.com another_domain.edu joes.garage_sale.com

#</IfModule>

End of proxy directives.

Section 3: Virtual Hosts

#

VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your

machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them.

Please see the documentation at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/>

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
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78

#

VirtualHost example:

Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.

#
#<VirtualHost ip.address.of.host.some_domain.com>

ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com

DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com

ServerName host.some_domain.com

ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log

CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common

#</VirtualHost>

#<VirtualHost default:*>
#</VirtualHost>

<IfDefine HAVE_SSL>
##

SSL Virtual Host Context

##

Apache will only listen on port 80 by default. Defining the virtual server

(below) won't make it automatically listen on the virtual server's port.

Listen 443

SSL Session Cache:

The cache speeds up processing of multiple parallel requests from

the same client.

SSLSessionCache shm:/var/cache/ssl_gcache_data(524288)

<VirtualHost default:443>

General setup for the virtual host

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

SSL Engine Switch:

Enable/Disable SSL for this virtual host.

SSLEngine on

SSL Cipher Suite:

List the ciphers that the client is permitted to negotiate.

See the mod_ssl documentation for a complete list.

#SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

Server Certificate:

Point SSLCertificateFile at a PEM encoded certificate. If

the certificate is encrypted, then you will be prompted for a

pass phrase. Note that a kill -HUP will prompt again. A test

certificate can be generated with `make certificate' under

built time. Keep in mind that if you've both a RSA and a DSA

certificate you can configure both in parallel (to also allow

the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)

SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
#SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server-dsa.crt

Server Private Key:

If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this

directive to point at the key file. Keep in mind that if

you've both a RSA and a DSA private key you can configure

both in parallel (to also allow the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
#SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server-dsa.key

Server Certificate Chain:

Point SSLCertificateChainFile at a file containing the

concatenation of PEM encoded CA certificates which form the

certificate chain for the server certificate. Alternatively

the referenced file can be the same as SSLCertificateFile

when the CA certificates are directly appended to the server

certificate for convinience.

#SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt

Certificate Authority (CA):

Set the CA certificate verification path where to find CA

certificates for client authentication or alternatively one

huge file containing all of them (file must be PEM encoded)

Note: Inside SSLCACertificatePath you need hash symlinks

to point to the certificate files. Use the provided

Makefile to update the hash symlinks after changes.

#SSLCACertificatePath /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt
#SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt

Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL):

Set the CA revocation path where to find CA CRLs for client

authentication or alternatively one huge file containing all

of them (file must be PEM encoded)

Note: Inside SSLCARevocationPath you need hash symlinks

to point to the certificate files. Use the provided

Makefile to update the hash symlinks after changes.

#SSLCARevocationPath /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crl
#SSLCARevocationFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crl/ca-bundle.crl

Client Authentication (Type):

Client certificate verification type and depth. Types are

none, optional, require and optional_no_ca. Depth is a

number which specifies how deeply to verify the certificate

issuer chain before deciding the certificate is not valid.

#SSLVerifyClient require
#SSLVerifyDepth 10

Access Control:

With SSLRequire you can do per-directory access control based

on arbitrary complex boolean expressions containing server

variable checks and other lookup directives. The syntax is a

mixture between C and Perl. See the mod_ssl documentation

for more details.

#<Location />
#SSLRequire ( %{SSL_CIPHER} !~ m/(EXP|NULL)-/ \

and %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O} eq "Snake Oil, Ltd." \

and %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_OU} in {"Staff", "CA", "Dev"} \

and %{TIME_WDAY} >= 1 and %{TIME_WDAY} <= 5 \

and %{TIME_HOUR} >= 8 and %{TIME_HOUR} <= 20 ) \

or %{REMOTE_ADDR} =~ m/192.76.162.[0-9]+$/

#</Location>

SSL Engine Options:

Set various options for the SSL engine.

o FakeBasicAuth:

Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation. This means that

the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control. The

user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 certificate.

Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user

file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.

o ExportCertData:

This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and

SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the

server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client

authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates

into CGI scripts.

o StdEnvVars:

This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.

Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons,

because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually

useless for serving static content. So one usually enables the

exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.

o CompatEnvVars:

This exports obsolete environment variables for backward compatibility

to Apache-SSL 1.x, mod_ssl 2.0.x, Sioux 1.0 and Stronghold 2.x. Use this

to provide compatibility to existing CGI scripts.

o StrictRequire:

This denies access when "SSLRequireSSL" or "SSLRequire" applied even

under a "Satisfy any" situation, i.e. when it applies access is denied

and no other module can change it.

o OptRenegotiate:

This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL

directives are used in per-directory context.

#SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth +ExportCertData +CompatEnvVars +StrictRequire
<Files ~ ".(cgi|shtml)$">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Files>
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>

Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP

keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable

keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".MSIE." nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

Per-Server Logging:

The home of a custom SSL log file. Use this when you want a

compact non-error SSL logfile on a virtual host basis.

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/ssl_request_log \
"%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"

</VirtualHost>

</IfDefine>

AddType application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig .pac

i am very greatful to you if you can help me in this...

ThankQ in advance

    I'm no expert either,
    does apache run
    check also if the reference to the php library points to where it actually is.
    also did you do a binary or source install of apache-if source -did you compile apache as DSO? coz from the httpd.conf, apache should be a dso??

    also I think
    this

    The following is for PHP/FI (PHP2):

    <IfModule mod_php.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
    </IfModule
    will conflict with php4 if both are present

    have you tried doing a phpinfo()

    <?phpinfo();?> - save as somefile.php

    then access it on your server

      i've got the same issue i'm trying to solve. how do you tell if php was installed as a module or as a cgi interpreter?
