Chapter 14. Apache HTTP Server

14.2.2.2. Logging

The following logging directives have been removed:

  AgentLog

  RefererLog

  RefererIgnore

However, agent and referrer logs are still available using the

CustomLog

and

LogFormat

directives.

For more on this topic, refer to the following documentation on the Apache Software Foundation's

website:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs 2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog

http://httpd.apache.org/docs 2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat

14.2.2.3. Directory Indexing

The deprecated

FancyIndexing

directive has now been removed. The same functionality is available

through the

FancyIndexing

option within the

IndexOptions

directive.

The new

VersionSort

option to the

IndexOptions

directive causes files containing version

numbers to be sorted in the natural way, so that

httpd 2.0.6.tar

would appear before

httpd 2.0.36.tar

in a directory index page.

The defaults for the

ReadmeName

and

HeaderName

directives have changed from

README

and

HEADER

to

README.html

and

HEADER.html

.

For more on this topic, refer to the following documentation on the Apache Software Foundation's

website:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs 2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html#indexoptions

http://httpd.apache.org/docs 2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html#readmename

http://httpd.apache.org/docs 2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html#headername

14.2.2.4. Content Negotiation

The

CacheNegotiatedDocs

directive now takes the argument

on

or

off

. Existing instances of

CacheNegotiatedDocs

should be replaced with

CacheNegotiatedDocs on

.

For more on this topic, refer to the following documentation on the Apache Software Foundation's

website:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs 2.0/mod/mod_negotiation.html#cachenegotiateddocs

14.2.2.5. Error Documents

To use a hard coded message with the

ErrorDocument

directive, the message should be enclosed in

a pair of double quotes, rather than just preceded by a double quote as required in Apache 1.3.

To migrate an

ErrorDocument

setting to Apache HTTP Server 2.0, use the following structure:

ErrorDocument 404 "The document was not found"

Note that there is a trailing double quote in the example

ErrorDocument

directive above.
