[SOLVED] How to enable mod

How to enable mod_info in Apache?

I've gone through the Apache guide to enable to mod_info.

As per doc:

To configure mod_info, add the following to your httpd.conf file.

<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
</Location>

You may wish to use mod_access inside the <Location> directive to limit access to your server configuration information:

<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from yourcompany.com
</Location>

Once configured, the server information is obtained by accessing
```
http://your.host.dom/server-info
```

In my case this link is not giving any info. Is there anything I need to install as mod_info.c or something? Is there anything I need to put as AddModule or something?

Solution

There should be a mod_info.so that must be on a path Apache 2 can find. For example, I have:

kdp@darwin ccl $ locate mod_info.so
/usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_info.so

Then, I have these in my httpd.conf:

ServerRoot "/usr/lib64/apache2"
LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.so

This is made available by a snippet in /etc/apache2/modules.d/00_mod_info.conf:

<IfDefine INFO>
# Allow remote server configuration reports, with the URL of
# http://servername/server-info
<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>
</IfDefine>

(The IfDefine is only needed because of the way stuff is set up on Gentoo.)
