Sectional directives
This card summarizes information in the Apache documentation, which can be found at http://www.apache.org/docs/ . Each directive is listed with its arguments. Defaults are given where appropriate in parentheses at the end of the line, followed by an indication of the status of the directive (C core, B base, E extension) and the contexts in which the directive is valid (c in a conguration le, v within a virtual host section, d within a directory section, a in an access control le). Options and directives that are new for Apache 1.3 are marked 1.3 , while those that have changed are marked 1.3.
