23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen directive to limit access to your server configuration
c3fcea07965f59723831e23da647a77518285b8eslive information.</p>
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen <p>Once configured, the server information is obtained by
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen accessing <code>http://your.host.dom/server-info</code></p>
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen Note that the configuration files are read by the
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen module at run-time, and therefore the display may
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen configuration if the files have been changed since the server
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen was last reloaded. Also, the configuration files must be
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen readable by the user as which the server is running (see the
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen <directive module="mpm_common">User</directive> directive), or
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen else the directive settings will not be listed.
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen <p>It should also be noted that if
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen <module>mod_info</module> is compiled into the server, its
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen handler capability is available in <em>all</em> configuration
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen <code>.htaccess</code>). This may have security-related
23171986812b568beef50b28bdca284ab949e774rbowen ramifications for your site.</p>
d87e108084c51be918345aaa2e2c05803ee88a3djwoolley <p>In particular, this module can leak sensitive information
d87e108084c51be918345aaa2e2c05803ee88a3djwoolley from the configuration directives of other Apache modules such as
d87e108084c51be918345aaa2e2c05803ee88a3djwoolley system paths, usernames/passwords, database names, etc. Due to
d87e108084c51be918345aaa2e2c05803ee88a3djwoolley the way this module works there is no way to block information
72efd3996108e6e17834609af9cf84b95e4c586end from it. Therefore, this module should <strong>only</strong> be
72efd3996108e6e17834609af9cf84b95e4c586end used in a controlled environment and always with caution.</p>
