# Boa v0.94 configuration file # File format has not changed from 0.93 # File format has changed little from 0.92 # version changes are noted in the comments # # The Boa configuration file is parsed with a lex/yacc or flex/bison # generated parser. If it reports an error, the line number will be # provided; it should be easy to spot. The syntax of each of these # rules is very simple, and they can occur in any order. Where possible # these directives mimic those of NCSA httpd 1.3; I saw no reason to # introduce gratuitous differences. # $Id: boa.conf,v 1.1 2004/10/09 02:48:37 andersen Exp $ # The "ServerRoot" is not in this configuration file. It can be compiled # into the server (see defines.h) or specified on the command line with # the -c option, for example: # # boa -c /usr/local/boa # Port: The port Boa runs on. The default port for http servers is 80. # If it is less than 1024, the server must be started as root. Port 80 # Listen: the Internet address to bind(2) to. If you leave it out, # it takes the behavior before 0.93.17.2, which is to bind to all # addresses (INADDR_ANY). You only get one "Listen" directive, # if you want service on multiple IP addresses, you have three choices: # 1. Run boa without a "Listen" directive # a. All addresses are treated the same; makes sense if the addresses # are localhost, ppp, and eth0. # b. Use the VirtualHost directive below to point requests to different # files. Should be good for a very large number of addresses (web # hosting clients). # 2. Run one copy of boa per IP address, each has its own configuration # with a "Listen" directive. No big deal up to a few tens of addresses. # Nice separation between clients. # The name you provide gets run through inet_aton(3), so you have to use dotted # quad notation. This configuration is too important to trust some DNS. #Listen 192.68.0.5 # User: The name or UID the server should run as. # Group: The group name or GID the server should run as.

Use # Redirect for other servers, Alias for the same server, and ScriptAlias # to enable directories for script execution. # Redirect allows you to tell clients about documents which used to exist in # your server's namespace, but do not anymore. This allows you to tell the # clients where to look for the relocated document. # Example: Redirect /bar http://elsewhere/feh/bar # Aliases: Aliases one path to another. # Example: Alias /path1/bar /path2/foo # Alias /doc /usr/doc # ScriptAlias: Maps a virtual path to a directory for serving scripts # Example: ScriptAlias /htbin/ /www/htbin/ ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
