<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>To configure <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code>, add the following to your
    <code>httpd.conf</code> file.</p>

    <div class="example"><p><code>
      &lt;Location /server-info&gt;<br />
      <span class="indent">
        SetHandler server-info<br />
      </span>
      &lt;/Location&gt;
    </code></p></div>

    <p>You may wish to use <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html">mod_authz_host</a></code> inside the
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code>
    directive to limit access to your server configuration
    information:</p>

    <div class="example"><p><code>
      &lt;Location /server-info&gt;<br />
      <span class="indent">
        SetHandler server-info<br />
        Order deny,allow<br />
        Deny from all<br />
        Allow from yourcompany.com<br />
      </span>
      &lt;/Location&gt;
    </code></p></div>

    <p>Once configured, the server information is obtained by
    accessing <code>http://your.host.example.com/server-info</code></p>

<h2><a name="security" id="security">Security Issues</a></h2>
    <p>Once <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code> is loaded into the server, its
    handler capability is available in <em>all</em> configuration
    files, including per-directory files (<em>e.g.</em>,
    <code>.htaccess</code>). This may have security-related
    ramifications for your site.</p>

    <p>In particular, this module can leak sensitive information
    from the configuration directives of other Apache modules such as
    system paths, usernames/passwords, database names, etc. Therefore,
    this module should <strong>only</strong> be
    used in a controlled environment and always with caution.</p>

    <p>You will probably want to use <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html">mod_authz_host</a></code> 
    to limit access to your server configuration information.</p>
      
    <div class="example"><h3>Access control</h3><p><code>
      &lt;Location /server-info&gt;<br />
      <span class="indent">
        SetHandler server-info<br />
        Order allow,deny<br />
        # Allow access from server itself<br />
        Allow from 127.0.0.1<br />
        # Additionally, allow access from local workstation<br />
        Allow from 192.168.1.17<br />
      </span>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="queries" id="queries">Selecting the information shown</a></h2>
    <p>By default, the server information includes a list of
    all enabled modules, and for each module, a description of
    the directives understood by that module, the hooks implemented
    by that module, and the relevant directives from the current
    configuration.</p>
    
    <p>Other views of the configuration information are available by
    appending a query to the <code>server-info</code> request. For
    example, <code>http://your.host.example.com/server-info?config</code>
    will show all configuration directives.</p>
    
    <dl>

            <dd>Only information relevant to the named module</dd>

<h2><a name="limitations" id="limitations">Known Limitations</a></h2>
    <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code> provides its information by reading the
    parsed configuration, rather than reading the original configuration
    file. There are a few limitations as a result of the way the parsed
    configuration tree is created:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Directives which are executed immediately rather than being
          stored in the parsed configuration are not listed. These include
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>,
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code>, and
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadfile">LoadFile</a></code>.</li>
      <li>Directives which control the configuration file itself, such as
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#include">Include</a></code>,
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#&lt;ifmodule&gt;">&lt;IfModule&gt;</a></code> and
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#&lt;ifdefine&gt;">&lt;IfDefine&gt;</a></code> are not
          listed, but the included configuration directives are.</li>
      <li>Comments are not listed. (This may be considered a feature.)</li>
      <li>Configuration directives from <code>.htaccess</code> files are
          not listed (since they do not form part of the permanent server
          configuration).</li>
      <li>Container directives such as
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#&lt;directory&gt;">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code>
          are listed normally, but <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code> cannot figure
          out the line number for the closing
          <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#&lt;/directory&gt;">&lt;/Directory&gt;</a></code>.</li>
      <li>Directives generated by third party modules such as
          <a href="http://perl.apache.org">mod_perl</a>
          might not be listed.</li>
