# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the # configuration directives that give the server its instructions. # See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about # the directives and /usr/share/doc/apache2-common/README.Debian.gz about # Debian specific hints. # # # Summary of how the Apache 2 configuration works in Debian: # The Apache 2 web server configuration in Debian is quite different to # upstream's suggested way to configure the web server. This is because Debian's # default Apache2 installation attempts to make adding and removing modules, # virtual hosts, and extra configuration directives as flexible as possible, in # order to make automating the changes and administering the server as easy as # possible. # It is split into several files forming the configuration hierarchy outlined # below, all located in the /etc/apache2/ directory: # # /etc/apache2/ # |-- apache2.conf # | `-- ports.conf # |-- mods-enabled # | |-- *.load # | `-- *.conf # |-- conf.d # | `-- * # `-- sites-enabled # `-- * # # # * apache2.conf is the main configuration file (this file). It puts the pieces # together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the # web server. # # In order to avoid conflicts with backup files, the Include directive is # adapted to ignore files that: # - do not begin with a letter or number # - contain a character that is neither letter nor number nor _-:. # - contain .dpkg # # Yet we strongly suggest that all configuration files either end with a # .conf or .load suffix in the file name. The next Debian release will # ignore files not ending with .conf (or .load for mods-enabled). # # * ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is # supposed to determine listening ports for incoming connections, and which # of these ports are used for name based virtual hosts. # # * Configuration files in the mods-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories # contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules or virtual # host configurations, respectively. # # They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their # respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our # helpers a2enmod/a2dismod, a2ensite/a2dissite. See # their respective man pages for detailed information. # # * Configuration files in the conf.d directory are either provided by other # packages or may be added by the local administrator. Local additions # should start with local- or end with .local.conf to avoid name clashes. All # files in conf.d are considered (excluding the exceptions noted above) by # the Apache 2 web server. # # * The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in # the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with # /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not # work with the default configuration. # Global configuration # # # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's # configuration, error, and log files are kept. # # NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network) # mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available # at ); # you will save yourself a lot of trouble. # # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path. # #ServerRoot "/etc/apache2" # # The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK. # LockFile ${APACHE_LOCK_DIR}/accept.lock # # PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process # identification number when it starts. # This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars # PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE} # # Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out. # Timeout 300 # # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than # one request per connection).
