General Configuration

Configuration File Directives

When Apache starts or restarts, it reads the main server con-

figuration file from the default location, or from the location

specified with the

-f command-line argument. Comments can

be included in configuration files by starting the line with a

hash sign (

#). Blank lines and leading white space are

ignored.

The following directives affect the location of secondary con-

figuration files.

Ser verRoot

ServerRoot directory

Contexts: G

Default:

/usr/local/apache

as AccessConfig, are taken relative to this directory. May be overrid-
