<h2>Basics</h2>
<p class="help_p">The <b>Document Root</b> must point to the
directory that holds the web; <b>Directory Indexes</b> can specify a
list of files that act as special index files, for
instance: <em>index.html,index.php</em>.</p>
<h2>Domain names</h2>
<p class="help_p">A simple virtual server can handle an unlimited
number of domain names. In fact, it is even able to configure a
virtual server to handle all the domains that match with a list of
custom wildcats. For example: </p>
<pre class="help_p">www.alobbs.com</pre>
<pre class="help_p"> *.example.com</pre><br>
<p class="help_p">If the domain name list is empty, the domain
alias will be used internally as its only entry.</p>
<h2>Behaviour</h2>
<p class="help_p">This is the most important part of the virtual
server configuration. This section sets the rules about how the
virtual server will reply to the client requests.</p>
<p class="help_p">When a request is going to be replied by a
virtual server, it needs to make a decision on what it should do. For
instance, whether it ought to execute a CGI, read a static file or
relay the request on an application server. That decision will be
based on the rules defined by this list.</p>
<p class="help_p">The virtual server will try to match the request
will all the rules from <b>highest to lowest</b> priority until an
entry matches.</p>
<h2>Error Handler</h2>
<p class="help_p">It is possible to customize how the server reports
errors. Depending on the error handler it will generate different
error responses.</p>
<p class="help_p">The default handler replies as you expect a server
to reply, so most probably you will not need to change it.</p>
<p class="help_p">However, there is another error handler that allows
you to set a custom redirection for each different error code; in
that way you can show your own error messages.</p>
<h2>Logging</h2>
<p class="help_p">By default the virtual server does not log the
server transactions, nor the error messages. In this section you have
to specify the format that the server should use when writing
accesses and errors and where it should store them.</p>
<p class="help_p">The most popular choice is <b>Apache Compatible</b>
format using a single file for the access log and the error
log.</p>
<h2>Security</h2>
<p class="help_p">This section allows you to configure the required
files to enable the <b>TLS</b>/<b>SSL</b> support for a certain
virtual server.</p>
<p class="help_p">A <b>Certificate</b>, <b>Certificate key</b>
and <b>CA List</b> files are needed in order to allow the server to
activate the secure connections (<b>https</b>) engine.</p>
