Configuration

• Case insensitive

  Except where pathnames are involved, these files are not case sensitive.

• Intolerant of whitespace

  httpd is currently very picky about extra whitespace in the config files. Extra lines are OK, but extra spaces and using tabs are not. This will change in the future.

• Comment lines begin with #

  Lines which should be ignored begin with #, the hash sign. This must be the first character on the line. Comments must be on a line by themselves.

• One directive per line

  Each line of these files consists of:

  Directive data

  Directive is a keyword httpd recognizes, followed by one space. data is specific to the directive.
