       # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
       #
       # This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
       # configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
       # See URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ for detailed information about
       # the directives.
       #
       # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
       # what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
       # consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
       #
       # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
       #  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
       #     whole (the 'global environment').
       #  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
       #     which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
       #     These directives also provide default values for the settings
       #     of all virtual hosts.
       #  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
       #     different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
       #     same Apache server process.
       #
       # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
       # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
       # server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
       # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
       # with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the
       # server as "/etc/httpd/logs/foo.log".

       ### Section 1: Global Environment
       #
       # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
       # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
       # can find its configuration files.
       #
       
       #
       # Don't give away too much information about all the subcomponents
       # we are running.  Comment out this line if you don't mind remote sites
       # finding out what major optional modules you are running
       ServerTokens OS
       
       #
       # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
       # configuration, error, and log files are kept.
       #
       # NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
       # mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
       # (available at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#lockfile>);
       # you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
       #
       # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

       ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

       # ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
       # If unspecified (the default), the scoreboard will be stored in an
       # anonymous shared memory segment, and will be unavailable to third-party
       # applications.
       # If specified, ensure that no two invocations of Apache share the same
       # scoreboard file. The scoreboard file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
       #
       #ScoreBoardFile run/httpd.scoreboard

       # identification number when it starts.
       #
       PidFile "/var/run/httpd.pid"
       
       #

       # one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
       #
       KeepAlive false
       
       #
       # MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
       # during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
       # We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
       #
       MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

       ### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
       #
       # The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
       # server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
       # <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
       # any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
       #
       # All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
       # in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
       # virtual host being defined.
       #
       
       #
       # If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
       # httpd as root initially and it will switch.  
       #
       # User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
       #  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
       #  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
       #    suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
       #  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
       #  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000; 
       #  don't use Group #-1 on these systems!

       # ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
       # e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
       # as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
       #
       ServerAdmin root@localhost
       
       #
       # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
       # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
       # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
       #
       # If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
       # redirections will not work.  See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
       #
       # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
       # You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make 
       # redirections work in a sensible way.

       #
       # UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing 
       # URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.
       # When set "Off", Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied
       # by the client.  When set "On", Apache will use the value of the
       # ServerName directive.

       #
       # VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
       # machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
       # use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
       # IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
       #
       # Please see the documentation at 
       # <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>
       # for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
       #
       # You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
       # configuration.
       
       #
       # Use name-based virtual hosting.
