<status>Extension</status>
<description>This module provides a comprehensive overview of the server
configuration including all installed modules and directives in the
configuration files.</description>
<identifier>info_module</identifier>
<sourcefile>mod_info.c</sourcefile>
<compatibility>Available in Apache 1.1 and later</compatibility>
<summary>
<h2>Using mod_info</h2>
<p>To configure it, add the following to your
<code>httpd.conf</code> file.</p>
<example>
<Location /server-info><br />
SetHandler server-info<br />
</Location><br />
</example>
You may wish to add a
<directive module="core"><Limit></directive>
clause inside the
<directive module="core"><location></directive>
directive to limit access to your server configuration
information.
<p>Once configured, the server information is obtained by
accessing <code>http://your.host.dom/server-info</code></p>
<note>
Note that the configuration files are read by the
module at run-time, and therefore the display may
<em>not</em> 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
<directive module="mpm_common">User</directive> directive), or
else the directive settings will not be listed.
<p>It should also be noted that if
<module>mod_info</module> is compiled into the server, its
handler capability is available in <em>all</em> configuration
files, including <em>per</em>-directory files (<em>e.g.</em>,
<code>.htaccess</code>). This may have security-related
ramifications for your site.</p>
