    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The main configuration file for the <command>httpd</command> daemon is

    <filename>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf</filename>.  The syntax of

    this file is described at 

    url="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/configuring.html"/>, and

    the full set of available directives is listed at 

    url="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html"/>.

    </para>

    <refsect2>

      <title>Configuration structure</title>

      <para>The main configuration file

      (<filename>httpd.conf</filename>) sets up various defaults and

      includes configuration files from two directories -

      <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d</filename> and

      <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d</filename>.  Packages containing

      loadable modules (like <option>mod_ssl.so</option>) place files

      in the <filename>conf.modules.d</filename> directory with the

      appropriate <option>LoadModule</option> directive so that module

      is loaded by default.</para>

      <para>Some notable configured defaults are:</para>

      <variablelist>

        <varlistentry>

          <term><option>DocumentRoot @DOCROOT@/html</option></term>

          <listitem><para>The default document root from which content

          is served.</para></listitem>

        </varlistentry>

        <varlistentry>

          <term><option>Listen 80</option></term>

          <listitem><para>The daemon listens on TCP port 80.</para></listitem>

        </varlistentry>

        <varlistentry>

          <term><option>ErrorLog "logs/error_log"</option></term>

          <listitem><para>Error messages are logged to

          <filename>@LOGDIR@/error_log</filename>.</para></listitem>

        </varlistentry>

        <varlistentry>

          <term><option>ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "@DOCROOT@/cgi-bin/"</option></term>

          <listitem><para>CGI scripts are served via the URL-path <option>/cgi-bin/</option>.</para></listitem>

        </varlistentry>

      </variablelist>

      <para>To remove any of the default configuration provided in

      separate files covered below, replace that file with an empty

      file rather than removing it from the filesystem, otherwise it

      may be restored to the original when the package which provides

      it is upgraded.</para>

      <title>MPM configuration</title>

      <para>The configuration file at

      <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf</filename> is

      used to select the multi-processing module (MPM), which governs

      how <command>httpd</command> divides work between processes

      and/or threads at run-time.  Exactly one

      <option>LoadModule</option> directive must be uncommented in

      this file; by default the <option>@MPM@</option> MPM is enabled.

      For more information on MPMs, see 

      url="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mpm.html"/>.</para>

      <para>If using the <emphasis>prefork</emphasis> MPM, the

      "httpd_graceful_shutdown" SELinux boolean should also be

      enabled, since with this MPM, httpd needs to establish TCP

      connections to local ports to successfully complete a graceful

      restart or shutdown. This boolean can be enabled by running the

      command: <command>semanage boolean -m --on

      httpd_graceful_shutdown</command></para>

      <title>Module configuration files</title>

      <para>Module configuration files are provided in the

      <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/</filename> directory.

      Filenames in this directory are by convention prefixed with two

      digit numeric prefix to ensure they are processed in the desired

      order.  Core modules provided with the <command>httpd</command>

      package are loaded by files with a <option>0x-</option> prefix

      to ensure these load first.  Only filenames with a

      <option>.conf</option> suffix in this directory will be

      processed.</para>

      <para>Other provided configuration files are listed below.

      <variablelist>

        <varlistentry>

          <term><filename>/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf</filename></term>

          <listitem><para>The set of core modules included with

          <command>httpd</command> which are all loaded by

          <listitem><para>This file loads <option>mod_systemd</option>

          which is necessary for the correct operation of the

          <command>httpd.service</command> systemd unit, and should

      <title>Other configuration files</title>

      <para>Default module configuration files and site-specific

      configuration files are loaded from the

      <filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d/</filename> directory.  Only files

      with a <option>.conf</option> suffix will be loaded.  The

      following files are provided:

      <variablelist>

        <varlistentry>

          <term><filename>/etc/httpd/conf.d/userdir.conf</filename></term>

          <listitem><para>This file gives an example configuration for

      <title>Instantiated services</title>

      <para>As an alternative to (or in addition to) the

      <command>httpd.service</command> unit, the instantiated template

      service <command>httpd@.service</command> unit file can be used,

      which starts <command>httpd</command> using a different

      configuration file to the default. For example,

      <command>systemctl start httpd@foobar.service</command> will

      start httpd using the configuration file

      <filename>/etc/httpd/conf/foobar.conf</filename>.  See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>httpd@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more information.</para>
