These are as follows: + + The "HostName" field is the name of this host, as it is + reported to each client connection. Normally, the fully + qualified domain name of the host running the server is + returned. If you want this set to something else, however, + (usually "www.my.domain") then this can be entered here. + + Additionally, the server needs to know how many connections + are allowed at one time - this is the "Max Connections" + field. If more than this number of clients attempt to connect + at once, the additional connections will be refused. This is + used to limit how much system load will be imposed by the HTTP + server. + + The "Email Address" field is the address of the person (or + system alias) who is the administrator for this web site. In + addition to being used by the Apache Server itself, it is also + put at the bottom of the sample web page that is created. + + Finally, the "Default User" and "Default Group" fields specify + what user id and group id should be used by the server for + remote connections. Local connections are kept as the UID and + GID of the local process. + +The second set of options determine what information is made available +to each client: + + The "Document Root Path" is the top of the tree of documents + that are made avaliable. For example, if the value is + "/usr/web", then the URL "http://www.foo.com/doc.html" would + translate as "/usr/web/doc.html". + + Similarly, the "User Directory" is the location in each user's + home directory where their public web documents are + stored. Thus if the value if this is "Public", then the URL + "http://www.foo.com/~joe/doc" would translate to the path + "~joe/Public/doc". + + Finally, if the URL points to a directory, there is always a + "Default Document" that Apache will use. This field holds the + name (not the path) of this document. By default, Apache uses + the file "index.html". However, some sites may be more used to + using the file "welcome.html". + +There are a number of other options that can be configured with +Apache, such as path aliases, masquerading as multiple hosts, server +child process parameters, and so forth. For more information on these, +consult the Apache man pages at http://www.apache.org. |
