<h1>Module mod_info</h1>
provides a comprehensive overview of the server configuration
including all installed modules and directives in the configuration
files. This module is not compiled into the
server by default. It is only available in Apache 1.1 and later. To
enable it, add the following line to the server build Configuration
file, and rebuild the server:

Module info_module mod_info.o
</PRE>
<HR>
<P>

</Location>

Note that the configuration files are read by the module at run-time,
and therefore the display may <EM>not</EM> 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
<A
HREF="core.html#user"
><SAMP>User</SAMP></A>
directive), or else the directive settings will not be listed.
<P>
It should also be noted that if <SAMP>mod_info</SAMP> is compiled into
the server, its handler capability is available in <EM>all</EM>
configuration files, including <EM>per</EM>-directory files
security-related ramifications for your site.
