4.8 Enabling Remote Server Configuration Reports

The nifty mod_info Apache module displays the complete server configuration in your browser. In order to use it, you have to compile it in or, if the server was compiled with DSO mode enabled, load it as an object. Then just uncomment the already prepared section in the httpd.conf file:

<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost
</Location>

Now restart the server and issue the request:

http://localhost/server-info

We won't show a snapshot of the output here, as it's very lengthy. However, you should know that mod_info is unaware of the configuration created or modified by <Perl> sections or equivalent methods discussed earlier in this chapter.
