Overview<\/h2>\n

This feature allows you to adjust several of the Apache\u00ae web server\u2019s advanced features. Many of these directives require that you format your entry in a specific way. Click a directive name to view its documentation on the Apache website.<\/p>\n

    Make certain<\/strong> that you and your users do not<\/strong> require a directive before you disable it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    To configure the advanced features of the Apache web server, use the following directives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Directive<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\nDefault Settings<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    SSL Cipher Suite<\/em><\/td>\nSets the OpenSSL ciphers that Apache uses. <\/p>\n
    \n
    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    • We recommend that you use this directive’s default setting to adjust your server for PCI compliance. For more information about PCI compliance, read our PCI Compliance and Software Versions documentation.<\/li>\n
    • If your chosen SSL protocol or the version of OpenSSL that EasyApache 4 uses does not<\/strong> support a cipher, the system will display an error message.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
    		By default, cPanel & WHM uses the following cipher list for web services:<\/p>\n

    		TLSv1.2<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    SSL Use Stapling<\/em><\/td>\nThis option enables Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) stapling. If enabled and requested by the client, the TLS handshake will include an OCSP response for its own certificate. This improves performance and security because the client does not need to contact the Certificate Authority (CA). For more information, read Wikipedia\u2019s OCSP stapling article.<\/td>\nOn<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Server Tokens<\/em><\/td>\nDetermines the amount of information that Apache provides to visitors in Server HTTP response headers.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    File ETag<\/em><\/td>\nDetermines the amount of information that Apache provides to visitors who request a file via HTTP. <\/p>\n
      \n
    • ETags display meta information to visitors who request a file.<\/li>\n

    Minimum Spare Servers<\/em><\/td>\nSets the minimum number of idle child server processes. Only configure this directive for very busy servers. <\/p>\n

    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n To configure this setting, you must install the MPM Prefork module.\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

    Maximum Spare Servers<\/em><\/td>\nSets the maximum number of idle child server processes. Only configure this directive for very busy servers. <\/p>\n

    Max Request Workers<\/em><\/td>\nSets the limit on the number of simultaneous requests that Apache serves. For example, use this value to change the maximum number of HTTP connections. You can enter a number equal to or lower than the value of the Server Limit setting (Apache refers to this directive as Max Clients in versions earlier than 2.4.) <\/p>\n
    \n
    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n

    To configure this setting, you must install the MPM Event, MPM Worker, or MPM Prefork module.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

    		150<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Max Connections Per Child<\/em><\/td>\nSets the limit on the number of requests that an individual child server process handles. After the child server processes a MaxConnectionsPerChild number of requests, the child server process terminates. If the MaxConnectionsPerChild setting equals 0, the child server process never expires. (Apache refers to this directive as Max Requests Per Child in versions earlier than 2.4.) <\/p>\n
    \n
    Note:<\/div>\n
    \n To configure this setting, you must install the MPM Prefork module.\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
    		10000<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Keep-Alive<\/em><\/td>\nEnables long-lived HTTP sessions, which allow you to send multiple requests over the same TCP connection. This directive can reduce load times for HTML documents with many images.<\/td>\nOff<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Keep-Alive Timeout<\/em><\/td>\nDefines the number of seconds that Apache waits for another request before Apache closes a connection.<\/td>\n5<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Max Keep-Alive Requests<\/em><\/td>\nLimits the number of requests that a TCP connection can make when you enable the KeepAlive directive. If you do not wish to limit KeepAlive directive requests, set this value to 0.<\/td>\n100<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Timeout<\/em><\/td>\nDefines the amount of time (in seconds) that Apache waits for certain events before Apache fails a request.<\/td>\n300<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Symlink Protection<\/em><\/td>\nEnables the Symlink Protection patch, which helps improve Apache\u2019s ability to detect a race condition.<\/td>\nOff<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    After you update the desired configuration options, click Save<\/em>. A new interface will appear. Click Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    To undo any of your changes, click Reset<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    Manually edit Apache features<\/h2>\n

    The server stores the configuration of your Apache web server in the etc\/cpanel\/ea4\/ea4.conf<\/code> file. This file replaced the \/var\/cpanel\/conf\/apache\/local<\/code> and \/var\/cpanel\/conf\/apache\/main<\/code> files.<\/p>\n

    \n
    Warning:<\/div>\n
    \n

    We strongly<\/strong> recommend that you do not<\/strong> directly edit the \/etc\/cpanel\/ea4\/ea4.conf<\/code> file. Use the interface instead. Editing the file directly may result in unexpected results, including server instability.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    We provide several other methods to customize your system. You can use one of the following methods to create custom configurations:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Create a custom template file for your Apache configuration. For more information, read our Custom Templates documentation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Add include files for your virtualhosts. For more information, read our Modify Apache Virtual Hosts with Include Files documentation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Third-party integrators can edit their configuration on the command line with the Cpanel::EA4::Conf<\/code> class. For more information, read our Guide to Perl in cPanel – Apache Configuration documentation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
