4 # version changes are noted in the comments
6 # The Boa configuration file is parsed with a lex/yacc or flex/bison
7 # generated parser. If it reports an error, the line number will be
8 # provided; it should be easy to spot. The syntax of each of these
9 # rules is very simple, and they can occur in any order. Where possible
10 # these directives mimic those of NCSA httpd 1.3; I saw no reason to
11 # introduce gratuitous differences.

15 # The "ServerRoot" is not in this configuration file. It can be compiled
16 # into the server (see defines.h) or specified on the command line with
17 # the -c option, for example:
19 # boa -c /usr/local/boa
22 # Port: The port Boa runs on. The default port for http servers is 80.
23 # If it is less than 1024, the server must be started as root.
27 # Listen: the Internet address to bind(2) to. If you leave it out,
28 # it takes the behavior before 0.93.17.2, which is to bind to all
29 # addresses (INADDR_ANY). You only get one "Listen" directive,
30 # if you want service on multiple IP addresses, you have three choices:
31 # 1. Run boa without a "Listen" directive
32 # a. All addresses are treated the same; makes sense if the addresses
33 # are localhost, ppp, and eth0.
34 # b. Use the VirtualHost directive below to point requests to different
35 # files. Should be good for a very large number of addresses (web
37 # 2. Run one copy of boa per IP address, each has its own configuration
38 # with a "Listen" directive. No big deal up to a few tens of addresses.
39 # Nice separation between clients.
40 # The name you provide gets run through inet_aton(3), so you have to use dotted
41 # quad notation. This configuration is too important to trust some DNS.
45 # User: The name or UID the server should run as.
46 # Group: The group name or GID the server should run as.
51 # ServerAdmin: The email address where server problems should be sent.
52 # Note: this is not currently used, except as an environment variable
55 #ServerAdmin root@localhost
57 # ErrorLog: The location of the error log file. If this does not start
58 # with /, it is considered relative to the server root.
59 # Set to /dev/null if you don't want errors logged.
60 # If unset, defaults to /dev/stderr

102 # Not used until version 0.93.17.2. This "feature" also breaks commonlog
103 # output rules, it prepends the interface number to each access_log line.

119 # directory index. Please MAKE AND USE THESE FILES. On the
120 # fly creation of directory indexes can be _slow_.
121 # Comment out to always use DirectoryMaker
123 DirectoryIndex index.html
125 # DirectoryMaker: Name of program used to create a directory listing.

130 DirectoryMaker /usr/lib/boa/boa_indexer
132 # DirectoryCache: If DirectoryIndex doesn't exist, and DirectoryMaker
133 # has been commented out, the the on-the-fly indexing of Boa can be used
134 # to generate indexes of directories. Be warned that the output is
135 # extremely minimal and can cause delays when slow disks are used.

141 # KeepAliveMax: Number of KeepAlive requests to allow per connection
142 # Comment out, or set to 0 to disable keepalive processing
146 # KeepAliveTimeout: seconds to wait before keepalive connection times out
150 # MimeTypes: This is the file that is used to generate mime type pairs
151 # and Content-Type fields for boa.

155 MimeTypes /etc/mime.types
157 # DefaultType: MIME type used if the file extension is unknown, or there
158 # is no file extension.
160 DefaultType text/plain
162 # AddType: adds types without editing mime.types
163 # Example: AddType type extension [extension ...]
165 # Uncomment the next line if you want .cgi files to execute from anywhere
166 #AddType application/x-httpd-cgi cgi
168 # Redirect, Alias, and ScriptAlias all have the same semantics -- they
169 # match the beginning of a request and take appropriate action. Use
170 # Redirect for other servers, Alias for the same server, and ScriptAlias
171 # to enable directories for script execution.
173 # Redirect allows you to tell clients about documents which used to exist in
174 # your server's namespace, but do not anymore. This allows you to tell the
175 # clients where to look for the relocated document.
176 # Example: Redirect /bar http://elsewhere/feh/bar
178 # Aliases: Aliases one path to another.
179 # Example: Alias /path1/bar /path2/foo
181 # Alias /doc /usr/doc
183 # ScriptAlias: Maps a virtual path to a directory for serving scripts
184 # Example: ScriptAlias /htbin/ /www/htbin/
186 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
