Server Configuration

• Apache’s behaviour is determined by a config file, typically conf/httpd.conf
• httpd.conf contains "directives" which affect Apache
• A notion of scope is used when talking about the effect of directives
  • Global scope
  • Virtual hosts
  • Location
  • Directories
  • Files
• Directives are inherited in the scope hierarchy
• Possible to override – in httpd.conf or a .htacces file in a directory
