# Apache Module mod_info

Available Languages: en | ja | ko

Description: | Provides a comprehensive overview of the server configuration
Status: | Extension
Module Identifier: | info_module
Source File: | mod_info.c

### 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.
