Summary

+ +

To configure mod_info, add the following to your + httpd.conf file.

+ +

+ <Location /server-info> + + SetHandler server-info + + </Location> +

+ +

You may wish to use mod_access inside the + <Location> + directive to limit access to your server configuration + information:

+ +

+ <Location /server-info> + + SetHandler server-info + Order deny,allow + Deny from all + Allow from yourcompany.com + + </Location> +

+ +

Once configured, the server information is obtained by + accessing http://your.host.dom/server-info

+ +

+ Note that the configuration files are read by the + module at run-time, and therefore the display may + not reflect the running server's active + configuration if the files have been changed since the server + was last reloaded. Also, the configuration files must be + readable by the user as which the server is running (see the + User directive), or + else the directive settings will not be listed. + +

It should also be noted that if + mod_info is compiled into the server, its + handler capability is available in all configuration + files, including per-directory files (e.g., + .htaccess). This may have security-related + ramifications for your site.

+ +

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. Due to + the way this module works there is no way to block information + from it. Therefore, this module should only be + used in a controlled environment and always with caution.
