    <h1 align="CENTER">Module mod_info</h1>

    <p>This module provides a comprehensive overview of the server
    configuration including all installed modules and directives in
    the configuration files.</p>

    rel="Help"><strong>Status:</strong></a> Extension<br />
     <a href="module-dict.html#SourceFile"
    rel="Help"><strong>Source File:</strong></a> mod_info.c<br />

    info_module<br />
     <a href="module-dict.html#compatibility"
    rel="Help"><strong>Compatibility:</strong></a> Available in
    Apache 1.1 and later.</p>

    <h2>Directives</h2>

    <ul>
      <li><a href="#addmoduleinfo">AddModuleInfo</a></li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Using mod_info</h2>

    <p>To configure it, add the following to your
    <code>access.conf</code> file.</p>
<pre>
&lt;Location /server-info&gt;
SetHandler server-info
&lt;/Location&gt;
</pre>
    You may wish to add a <a
    href="core.html#limit">&lt;Limit&gt;</a> clause inside the <a
    href="core.html#location">location</a> directive to limit
    access to your server configuration information. 

    <p>Once configured, the server information is obtained by
    accessing <tt>http://your.host.dom/server-info</tt></p>

    <blockquote>
      <p><strong>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.</strong></p>

      <p><strong>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 (<em>e.g.</em>,
      <samp>.htaccess</samp>). This may have security-related
      ramifications for your site.</strong></p>

      <p>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.</p>
