[users@httpd] Finding out apache's configure options...

-- Hi everyone!

Is there an easy way to tell what options were given to apache at the
time it was compiled?

I need to upgrade an apache server running 1.3.12 that was configured
with a multitude of options but I don't know which ones.

I fear that it is vulnerable to the recent SSL worm.

Tks,

Tks much Kris.

Appears as though --recheck is an invalid option to configure.status on
1.3.xx.

Although I did read through config.layout and ran config.status.

Would I be correct in saying that the options in config.layout are what
I would be looking for?

I am reading config.status as opposed to .layout.  It appears as layout
is a generic file, whereas I have now verified on a server 1.3.26 that I
built myself that config.status does indeed carry the options that were
given to configure originally.

Thank you for all of your help!

If it is the configured source tree, then you should be able to run:

	./config.status --recheck

this will reconfigure the current tree, but will also display the
options that were used to configure the tree initially.

Example:

	$ ./config.status --recheck
	running /bin/bash configure  --prefix=/apache --disable-actions 
                --disable-asis --disable-auth --disable-autoindex 
                --enable-disk-cache --with-mod_jk --enable-ssl 
		...
        ...

I only tried this on an Apache 2.0 setup, I hope it also works on a
1.3 tree.

I do have the original source tree.  How can I extract this information
from it?

Tks,

Steve

Not if you don't have the original source tree anymore (IMHO).

You can be sure of that.

httpd -V

Easiest way to see if you are vulnerable is to check what netcraft says
about your site.  Or to issue the same invalid HTTP GET string that the worm
sends over a telnet connection.
