For this exercise, the httpd.conf in ... /site.status file should look like this:
User webuser Group webgroup ServerName www.butterthlies.com DocumentRoot /usr/www/site.status/htdocs <Location /status> order deny, allow allow from 192.168.123.1 deny from all SetHandler server-status </Location> <Location /info> order deny, allow allow from 192.168.123.1 deny from all SetHandler server-status SetHandler server-info </Location>
The allow from directive keeps our laundry private.
Remember the way order works: the last entry has the last word. Notice also the use of SetHandler , which sets a handler for all requests to a directory, instead of AddHandler, which specifies a handler for particular file extensions. If you then access www.butterthlies.com/status, you get this response:

There are several useful variants on the basic status request:
Returns the status without using tables, for browsers with no table support
Updates the page once a second
Updates the page every six seconds
Returns the status in a format suitable for processing by a program
These can also be combined by putting a comma between them, for example: http://www.butterthlies.com/status?notable,refresh=10.
