Setting Server and Administrator Functions

Specifying Server and File Locations

3-3

ServerAdmin

Creates an email address that is included with every default error message that
clients encounter. It is useful to create a separate email address for this.

ServerSignature

Enables the server to recognize which server, among the various proxies, created
the returned response, such as an error message.

■

on: Server creates a footer to the returned document that includes information
such as

ServerName

 and server version number. This is the default.

■

email:

 Server creates an additional “mailto:” reference to the

ServerAdmin

of the document.

■

off

: Footer and “mailto:” reference are not created.

ServerTokens

Controls server information which is returned to clients, such as in error messages.
This information includes a description of the generic operating system-type of the
server, and compiled-in modules.

■

min(imal)

: provides information such as server name and version.

■

OS

: provides information such as server name, version and operating system.

■

full

: provides information such as server name, version, operating system,

and complied modules.

ServerAlias

Sets alternate names for the current virtual host.
