Install the Apache HTTP server manual

To perform various configuration tasks, you can use the Apache HTTP Server manual. This manual includes detailed documentation of configuration parameters and directives, performance tuning, authentication settings, modules, content caching, security tips, and configuring TLS encryption.

Before you begin

  • The Apache HTTP Server is installed and running.

Procedure

  1. Install the httpd-manual package: 
    # dnf install httpd-manual
  2. Optional: By default, all clients connecting to the Apache HTTP Server can display the manual. To restrict access to a specific IP range, such as the 192.0.2.0/24 subnet, edit the /etc/httpd/conf.d/manual.conf file and add the Require ip 192.0.2.0/24 setting to the <Directory "/usr/share/httpd/manual"> directive: 
    <Directory "/usr/share/httpd/manual">
...
    Require ip 192.0.2.0/24
...
</Directory>
  3. Restart the httpd service: 
    # systemctl restart httpd

Results

  • To display the Apache HTTP Server manual, connect to the http://host_name_or_IP_address/manual/ URL with a web browser.
