[cobalt-users] sorry! server-status

["RHLinux- WHN" <rhlinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should have included more better instructions for those who want to view
the server-status page

To enable on Cobalt RaQ's: You can enable this by, as root, editing the
Apache access.conf file (on Linux Red Hat, at /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf).
Search for the word 'status' or > 'server-status' (different versions use
one or the other). Most often you will find this:

# Allow server status reports, with the URL of
http://servername/server-status
# Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable.
# <Location /server-status>
# SetHandler server-status
# order deny,allow
# deny from all
# allow from .your_domain.com
# </Location>

Notice the '#' in front of each line. This means it is 'commented out'; it
will not be seen by Apache. You will want to remove this except on the
comments themselves, and enable at least one location (localhost): # Allow
server status reports, with the URL of http://servername/server-status

# Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable.

<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
order deny,allow
allow from yourdomain.com
</Location>

When it's allowed from yourdomain.com, this means it can be viewed from your
server by typing:

http://yourdomain.com/server-status

---------
Mine looks like this:

# Allow server status reports, with the URL of
http://servername/server-status
# Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable.

<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status

order deny,allow
allow from www-hosting.net
</Location>


Now to view all the files being access which is VERY HELPFUL if you want to
catch those warez or mp3 sites, put this in the bottom of the access.conf
file

ExtendedStatus On

After changing this file, restart Apache by: killall -HUP httpd

Any questions, email me off line
