Apache configuration: how to get quick feedback?












0














When writing configuration files for Apache web server I would like to have a quick feedback loop.



I, for example have a script that doesn't seem to work. It is either not picked up, or the variables I use are not set, or maybe overriding is not allowed. How to debug this?



I expected to at least print some debug log statements like REQUEST_URI: %{REQUEST_URI}. Can't find such a thing.

apachectl is a front end to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the administrator control the functioning of the Apache httpd daemon.



Here is a link to the documentation.



Different platform might use different binary names such as apache, apache2 or apache2ctl. To test the configuration - just run:



apachectl configtest

# or, depending on your OS

httpd -t


EDIT
If you are trying to debug your virtual host configuration, you may find the Apache -S command line switch useful. That is, type the following command:



httpd -S


This command will dump out a description of how Apache parsed the configuration file

A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
