Apache monitoring tool “server-status”

Recently I knew about a Apache module mod_status.

It’s a helpful module to monitor status of your Web server.

By default it’s already installed when you installed Apache.

But if not then you need to recompile Apache againg.

*********************************

First, move into your Apache source directory.

% cd /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.x

# ./config.status --enable-module=status

# make

# make install

**********************************************

Note: After recompiling Apache you need to make change in apache config file

***************************

<Location /server-status> 

SetHandler server-status

Order deny,allow 

Deny from all 

Allow from .your_domain.com 

</Location>

***********************************

Just restart apache & now your server is ready to give you it's status.

now go to your web browser

http://abc.com/server-status?
