dbmmanage - Manage user authentication files in DBM format dbmmanage is used to create and update the DBM format files used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users via mod_authn_dbm. Resources available from the Apache HTTP server can be restricted to just the users listed in the files created by dbmmanage. This program can only be used when the usernames are stored in a DBM file. To use a flat-file database see htpasswd. Another tool to maintain a DBM password d

Apache Core Features Description: Core Apache HTTP Server features that are always available Status: Core AcceptFilter Directive Description: Configures optimizations for a Protocol's Listener Sockets Syntax: AcceptFilter protocol accept_filter Context: server config Status: Core Module: core This directive enables operating system specific optimizations for a listening socket by the Protocol type. The basic premise is for the kernel to not send a socket to the server process until either d

Custom Error Responses Although the Apache HTTP Server provides generic error responses in the event of 4xx or 5xx HTTP status codes, these responses are rather stark, uninformative, and can be intimidating to site users. You may wish to provide custom error responses which are either friendlier, or in some language other than English, or perhaps which are styled more in line with your site layout. Customized error responses can be defined for any HTTP status code designated as an error condit

Content Negotiation Apache HTTPD supports content negotiation as described in the HTTP/1.1 specification. It can choose the best representation of a resource based on the browser-supplied preferences for media type, languages, character set and encoding. It also implements a couple of features to give more intelligent handling of requests from browsers that send incomplete negotiation information. Content negotiation is provided by the mod_negotiation module, which is compiled in by default.

configure - Configure the source tree The configure script configures the source tree for compiling and installing the Apache HTTP Server on your particular platform. Various options allow the compilation of a server corresponding to your personal requirements. This script, included in the root directory of the source distribution, is for compilation on Unix and Unix-like systems only. For other platforms, see the platform documentation. Synopsis You should call the configure script from w

Configuration Sections Directives in the configuration files may apply to the entire server, or they may be restricted to apply only to particular directories, files, hosts, or URLs. This document describes how to use configuration section containers or .htaccess files to change the scope of other configuration directives. Types of Configuration Section Containers Related Modules Related Directives core mod_version mod_proxy <Directory> <DirectoryMatch> <Files> <Files

Configuration Files This document describes the files used to configure Apache HTTP Server. Main Configuration Files Related Modules Related Directives mod_mime <IfDefine> Include TypesConfig Apache HTTP Server is configured by placing directives in plain text configuration files. The main configuration file is usually called httpd.conf. The location of this file is set at compile-time, but may be overridden with the -f command line flag. In addition, other configuration files may

Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows There are many important points to consider before you begin compiling Apache HTTP Server (httpd). See Using Apache HTTP Server on Microsoft Windows before you begin. httpd can be built on Windows using a cmake-based build system or with Visual Studio project files maintained by httpd developers. The cmake-based build system directly supports more versions of Visual Studio but currently has considerable functional limitations. Building httpd with the

Compiling and Installing This document covers compilation and installation of the Apache HTTP Server on Unix and Unix-like systems only. For compiling and installation on Windows, see Using Apache HTTP Server with Microsoft Windows and Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows. For other platforms, see the platform documentation. Apache httpd uses libtool and autoconf to create a build environment that looks like many other Open Source projects. If you are upgrading from one minor version to the

Caching Guide This document supplements the mod_cache, mod_cache_disk, mod_file_cache and htcacheclean reference documentation. It describes how to use the Apache HTTP Server's caching features to accelerate web and proxy serving, while avoiding common problems and misconfigurations. Introduction The Apache HTTP server offers a range of caching features that are designed to improve the performance of the server in various ways. Three-state RFC2616 HTTP caching mod_cache and its provider m
