33 <h3>Summary</h3>
34
35     <p>To configure <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code>, add the following to your
36     <code>httpd.conf</code> file.</p>
37
38     <div class="example"><p><code>
39       &lt;Location /server-info&gt;<br />
40       <span class="indent">
41         SetHandler server-info<br />
42       </span>
43       &lt;/Location&gt;
44     </code></p></div>
45
46     <p>You may wish to use <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_access.html">mod_access</a></code> inside the 
47     <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code>
48     directive to limit access to your server configuration 
49     information:</p>
50
51     <div class="example"><p><code>
52       &lt;Location /server-info&gt;<br />
53       <span class="indent">
54         SetHandler server-info<br />
55         Order deny,allow<br />
56         Deny from all<br />
57         Allow from yourcompany.com<br />
58       </span>
59       &lt;/Location&gt;
60     </code></p></div>
61
62     <p>Once configured, the server information is obtained by
63     accessing <code>http://your.host.dom/server-info</code></p>
64
65     <div class="note">
66       Note that the configuration files are read by the
67       module at run-time, and therefore the display may
68       <em>not</em> reflect the running server's active
69       configuration if the files have been changed since the server
70       was last reloaded. Also, the configuration files must be
71       readable by the user as which the server is running (see the
72       <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> directive), or
73       else the directive settings will not be listed.
74
75       <p>It should also be noted that if
76       <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code> is compiled into the server, its
77       handler capability is available in <em>all</em> configuration
78       files, including per-directory files (<em>e.g.</em>,
79       <code>.htaccess</code>). This may have security-related
80       ramifications for your site.</p>
81
82       <p>In particular, this module can leak sensitive information
83       from the configuration directives of other Apache modules such as
84       system paths, usernames/passwords, database names, etc.  Due to
85       the way this module works there is no way to block information
86       from it.  Therefore, this module should <strong>only</strong> be
87       used in a controlled environment and always with caution.</p>
