Dear Wiki user,

The "ScanHTTPDConf" page has been changed by SeanTimmins:
https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/ScanHTTPDConf

New page:
= HTTPD Configuration scanner =

"scanconf.pl" is a script that reads the top level Apache HTTPD configuration 
file and scans through it parsing all include files found in order to search 
the whole server configuration for any given directives. The search is case 
insensitive.

The current script can be found here: 
http://www.unbeliever.plus.com/apache/scripts/scanconf.pl

All the script needs to run the path to the top level configuration file and 
sometimes the server root (if it is not defined in the configuration file 
itself), both of which can be supplied via arguments.

== Usage and Arguments ==

The common locations of the top level configuration file are hard coded into 
the script. They were taken from [[DistrosDefaultLayout]]. If none of these are 
found the file must be specified using the -c flag.

The default output shows the line number the directive was found at and the 
file it came from.

The various arguments are.

 * -c /path/to/file: specify path to top level configuration file.
 * -F: Suppress the printing the file name after each directive.
 * -h: Print the help message.
 * -L: Suppress the printing of line numbers.
 * -s /path/to/server/root: specify server root as some distributions use a 
'default'.
 * -q: quiet mode, only print the 'directives' lines of output.
 * -v: output the full config line rather than just the directive.

== Example Usage ==

The following show some examples of how to use the script. The last one 
actually dumps the whole active configuration without comments (possibly useful 
for configuration comparison?).

 * Show "Include" lines and all configuration files:: scanconf.pl
 * Search for a specific directive:: scanconf.pl directory
 * Search for multiple directives:: scanconf.pl location directory allow
 * Specify the top level httpd config file:: scanconf.pl -c 
/etc/httpd/apache2.conf
 * Dump all configuration including arguments to all directives:: scanconf.pl 
-q -v -F -L All

== Possible Enhancements ==

 * Execute {{{apachectl -V}}} to determine a default ServerRoot.
 * Tidy up output for the longer directives.
