Apache Windows httpd.conf .htaccess

httpd.conf basic settings to get going on Windows

Open the default /conf/httpd.conf" from the Apache installation folder.

1) Set ServerRoot to your Apache install folder.
ServerRoot "D:/Apache220"

2) Set the ip(s) Apache should bind to.
#If you already have some service running on port 80, you will need to restrict the binding of Apache.
The default Listen 80 will bind to all the server ips.

Create a Virtual host on a shared ip

1) Tell Apache to listen on the new ip (port 80 the default HTTP port):
Listen 63.123.139.159:80
NameVirtualHost 63.123.139.159


2) Next create a <VirtualHost> block for each different host that you would like to serve.
The argument to <VirtualHost> must match exactly the one used with NameVirtualHost.
#VirtualHost1 with a DocumentRoot at least 1 ServerName
<VirtualHost 63.123.139.159>
ServerName www.sitebuddy.com
ServerAlias sitebuddy.com *.sitebuddy.com
DocumentRoot E:/DomZeus/sitebuddycom/wwwroot
#You can also add a custom log here

Graceful restart of Apache

To restart Apache 2.2.0 and let the current threads finish and be regenerated use the command:
apache -k restart

This forces it to reread the configuration file. Any operations in progress are allowed to complete without interruption.
Note: This will attemp to gracefully restart the "Apache2" service. If your Apache service has a different name use the -n option (see following example).

For example, I created a .bat file on my desktop named RestartApache220.bat containing:
F:\Apache220\bin\httpd.exe -k restart -n Apache220
My Apache service is called "Apache220"

Create an additional host (another web site)

1) To setup Apache to listen on the new IP (port 80 the default HTTP port):
Listen 63.123.138.159:80

2) Define the "root" of the new IP-based web site.
<VirtualHost 63.123.138.159>

Aapache Secure Folder Access: Order Deny Allow

Aapache Secure Folder Access

You should try to completely restrict access by default and open access as appropriate. The following restricts access  to everything.

<Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

Order directive can be:
Deny,Allow
The Deny directives are evaluated before the Allow directives. Access is allowed by default. Any client which does not match a Deny directive or does match an Allow directive will be allowed access to the server.
