For
this exercise, which includes info as previously,
the httpd.conf in ...
/site.status file should look like this:
User webuser Group webgroup ServerName www.butterthlies.com DocumentRoot /usr/www/APACHE3/site.status/htdocs ExtendedStatus on <Location /status> order deny,allow allow from 192.168.123.1 deny from all SetHandler server-status </Location> <Location /info> order deny,allow allow from 192.168.123.1 deny from all SetHandler server-status SetHandler server-info </Location>
The allow
from directive
keeps our laundry private.
Remember the way order works: the last entry has
the last word. Notice also the use of
SetHandler
, which sets a handler for all
requests to a directory, instead of AddHandler,
which specifies a handler for particular file extensions. If you then
access www.butterthlies.com/status, you get this
response:

There are several useful variants on the basic status request made from the browser:
status?notable
Returns the status without using tables, for browsers with no table support
status?refresh
Updates the page once a second
status?refresh=<n>
Updates the page every <n> seconds
status?auto
Returns the status in a format suitable for processing by a program
These can also be combined by putting a comma between them, i.e., http://www.butterthlies.com/status?notable,refresh=10.
