Apache "Directives"

  1. You configure the Apache software by modifying text configuration files.
  2. These files contain instructions.
  3. These instructions are created in a format known as "directives".
  4. Directives typically look like this: 
            ServerRoot /usr/local/lib/apache
    or this:
        <Directory /usr/local/lib/apache/htdocs/Dir/Java>
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
           Deny from badusers.com
        </Directory>
  5. Directives are used in all configuration files.
