Apple oxs manual Changing Web Settings, Serveradmin and Apache Settings

124

To list a group of settings:

You can list a group of settings that have part of their names in common by typing only as much of the name as you want, stopping at a colon (:), and typing an asterisk

(*) as a wildcard for the remaining parts of the name. For example,

$ sudo serveradmin settings web:IFModule:_array_id:mod_alias.c:*

Changing Web Settings

You can use serveradmin to modify your server’s Web service configuration. However, if you want to work with the Web service from the command-line, you’ll probably find it more straightforward to work directly with the underlying Apache web server.

For information on Apache, visit www.apache.org.

serveradmin and Apache Settings

The parameters are written differently in the Apache configuration file than they are in serveradmin. For example, this block of Apache configuration parameters

<IfModule mod_macbinary_apple.c> MacBinary On

MacBinaryBlock html shtml perl pl cgi jsp php phps asp scpt MacBinaryBlock htaccess

</IfModule>

appear as follows in serveradmin

web:IfModule:_array_id:mod_macbinary_apple.c:MacBinary = yes

web:IfModule:_array_id:mod_macbinary_apple.c:MacBinaryBlock:_array_index:0 = "html shtml perl pl cgi jsp php phps asp scpt"

web:IfModule:_array_id:mod_macbinary_apple.c:MacBinaryBlock:_array_index:1 = "htaccess".

For information on Apache settings, visit www.apache.org.

$ sudo serveradmin settings web:setting = value
