Global Configuration

For WHM version 11.30

This feature allows you to adjust several advanced features of the Apache web server.

Many of these features require you to format your entry in a specific way. To learn more about a directive, click its name to view the Apache documentation about it.

Directive	Description
SSLCipherSuite	This directive sets the OpenSSL ciphers Apache will use.
TraceEnable	This directive allows or disallows TRACE requests.
ServerSignature	This directive determines whether server information will appear in error results and other server-generated information.
ServerTokens	This directive determines the amount of information Apache will provide to visitors via Server HTTP response headers.
FileETag	ETags are responsible for displaying meta information to visitors requesting a file. This directive determines the amount of information Apache will provide to visitors requesting a file via HTTP.
Directory ‘/’ Options	This directive sets several options pertaining to the root (/) directory.
StartServers	This directive sets the number of child server processes created when Apache starts up.
ServerLimit	This directive sets the maximum configured value for the MaxClients directive for the lifetime of the Apache process.
KeepAlive	This directive enables long-lived HTTP sessions, which allow multiple requests to be sent over the same TCP connection. This can speed up latency times for HTML documents with many images.
KeepAliveTimeout	This directive sets the number of seconds Apache will wait for a subsequent request before closing a connection.
MaxKeepAliveRequests	This directive limits the number of requests a TCP connection can make when KeepAlive is on. Setting this value to `0` specifies that you do not wish to limit KeepAlive requests.
TimeOut	This directive defines the amount of time Apache will wait for certain events before failing a request.

Note: Please ensure that you and your users will not need a given option before you disable it.

When you have set your configuration options, click Save.

To undo any changes you have made, click Reset.
