13 <p>To configure <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code>, add the following to your
14 <code>httpd.conf</code> file.</p>
16 <div class="example"><p><code>
17 <Location /server-info><br />
19 SetHandler server-info<br />
24 <p>You may wish to add a
25 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limit"><Limit></a></code>
27 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code>
28 directive to limit access to your server configuration
31 <p>Once configured, the server information is obtained by
32 accessing <code>http://your.host.dom/server-info</code></p>
35 Note that the configuration files are read by the
36 module at run-time, and therefore the display may
37 <em>not</em> reflect the running server's active
38 configuration if the files have been changed since the server
39 was last reloaded. Also, the configuration files must be
40 readable by the user as which the server is running (see the
41 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> directive), or
42 else the directive settings will not be listed.
44 <p>It should also be noted that if
45 <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code> is compiled into the server, its
46 handler capability is available in <em>all</em> configuration
47 files, including per-directory files (<em>e.g.</em>,
48 <code>.htaccess</code>). This may have security-related
49 ramifications for your site.</p>
51 <p>In particular, this module can leak sensitive information
52 from the configuration directives of other Apache modules such as
53 system paths, usernames/passwords, database names, etc. Due to
54 the way this module works there is no way to block information
55 from it. Therefore, this module should <strong>only</strong> be
56 used in a controlled environment and always with caution.</p>
