Alias
With the help of Alias directives, URLs can be mapped to physical le system
locations. This means that a certain path even outside the Document Root in
the le system can be accessed via a URL aliasing that path.
The default openSUSE Alias /icons points to /usr/share/apache2/
icons for the Apache icons displayed in the directory index view.
ScriptAlias
Similar to the Alias directive, the ScriptAlias directive maps a URL to a
le system location. The difference is that ScriptAlias designates the target
directory as a CGI location, meaning that CGI scripts should be executed in that
location.
Directory
With Directory settings, you can enclose a group of conguration options that
will only apply to the specied directory.
Access and display options for the directories /srv/www/htdocs, /usr/
share/apache2/icons and /srv/www/cgi-bin are congured here. It
should not be necessary to change the defaults.
Include
With include, additional conguration les can be specied. Two Include direc-
tives are already precongured: /etc/apache2/conf.d/ is the directory
containing the conguration les that come with external modules. With this direc-
tive, all les in this directory ending in .conf are included. With the second di-
rective, /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-manual.conf, the apache2
-manual conguration le is included.
Server Name
This species the default URL used by clients to contact the Web server. Use a
fully qualied domain name (FQDN) to reach the Web server at http://FQDN/
or its IP address. You cannot choose an arbitrary name here—the server must be
“known” under this name.
Server Administrator E-Mail
E-mail address of the server administrator. This address is, for example, shown on
error pages Apache creates.
