Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3
Module mod_info
This module provides a comprehensive overview of the server
configuration including all installed modules and directives in
the configuration files.
Status: Extension
Source File: mod_info.c
Module Identifier:
info_module
Compatibility: Available in
Apache 1.1 and later.
Directives
Using mod_info
To configure it, add the following to your
access.conf file.
<Location /server-info>
SetHandler server-info
</Location>
You may wish to add a <Limit> clause inside the location directive to limit
access to your server configuration information.
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.
