Section 13.3:Configuration Directives in httpd.conf 195
13.3.1 ServerType
Your ServerType must be set to standalone. By default, your Web server is set to Server-
Type standalone.
ServerType standalone means that the server is started once and then that server handles all
of the connections.
13.3.2 ServerRoot
The ServerRoot is the top-level directory which contains the server's files. Both your secure and
non-secure servers are set to use a ServerRoot of /etc/httpd.
13.3.3 LockFile
LockFile sets the path to the lockfile used when the Apache server is compiled with either
USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. LockFile
should be left at its default value.
13.3.4 PidFile
PidFile names the file where the server records its process ID (pid). Your Web server is set to
record its pid in /var/run/httpd.pid.
13.3.5 ScoreBoardFile
The ScoreBoardFile stores internal server process information, which is used for communication
between the parent server process and its child processes. Red Hat Linux uses shared memory to
store the ScoreBoardFile, the default of /var/run/httpd.scoreboard is only used as a
fallback.
13.3.6 ResourceConfig
The ResourceConfig directive instructs the server to read the file named after ResourceCon-
fig for more directives. The ResourceConfig directive is commented out, because your Web
server only uses httpd.conf for configuration directives.
13.3.7 AccessConfig
The AccessConfig directive instructs the server to read the file named after AccessConfig for
more directives, after it has read the file named by ResourceConfig. The AccessConfig direc-
tive is commented out, because your Web server only uses httpd.conf for configuration directives.
