Introduction

Apache is a web server.

Apache Commands

• Apache2ctl
• Apachectl

For example "apache2ctl configtest" will test the httpd.conf file for any errors, useful to do this before applying any changes that may cause the Apache and server to crash.

Stop Apache Directory Browsing

It is best to switch off directory browsing on all directories under root, and then allow on the directories you specifically want users to be able to see:

<Directory />
  Options FollowSymLinks -Indexes
  AllowOverride None
</Directory>

• Directory Directive

Mod Deflate

The mod_deflate module provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows output from your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network.

• Mod Deflate Docs
• Mod Deflate Test

Set up PHP within Apache 2 in Windows

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP5.X/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP5.X"
