Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0
This document explains some of the directives provided by the core
server which are used to configure the basic operations of the server.

The ServerAdmin
and ServerTokens
directives control what information about the server will be presented in server-generated documents such as error messages. The ServerTokens
directive sets the value of the Server HTTP response header field.
The ServerName
and UseCanonicalName
directives are used by the server to determine how to construct self-referential URLs. For example, when a client requests a directory, but does not include the trailing slash in the directory name, Apache must redirect the client to the full name including the trailing slash so that the client will correctly resolve relative references in the document.

These directives control the locations of the various files that Apache needs for proper operation. When the pathname used does not begin with a slash (/), the files are located relative to the ServerRoot
. Be careful about locating files in paths which are writable by non-root users. See the security tips documentation for more details.

The LimitRequest
* directives are used to place limits on the amount of resources Apache will use in reading requests from clients. By limiting these values, some kinds of denial of service attacks can be mitigated.
The RLimit
* directives are used to limit the amount of resources which can be used by processes forked off from the Apache children. In particular, this will control resources used by CGI scripts and SSI exec commands.
The ThreadStackSize
directive is used only on Netware to control the stack size.
