Virtual Private Server User Guide

The Apache Web Server

Note: Apache, as configured at setup, runs correctly in both 

standard and SSL modes and includes a number of useful Apache 

modules. Technical assistance will be provided to customers who 

have questions about where to put their Web pages and other 

content, how to start, stop, and restart Apache correctly, and the 

locations of important Apache related files and commands. 

Assistance is also available for questions about using the vaddvhost 

command to add virtual hosts on the server, and to install the 

Microsoft FrontPage Extensions through the fpconfig super 

command or the VAdmin Web interface. 

All customers are welcome to modify their Apache configuration 

files if they have the need to do so, but no technical assistance in 

doing so will be provided. Questions relating to configuration 

directives or Apache modules will be responded to with 

references to the Apache documentation found at http://

www.apache.org/. By customizing or replacing their Apache 

configuration files or their Apache installation itself the customer 

assumes responsibility for Apache related issues.

No technical assistance of any kind for Apache related issues will 

be provided to customers who have surpassed the stated limit of 

virtual hosts that their VPS server provides.

Technical assistance is available to help customers generate a 

request for a private SSL certificate and to aid in the installation of 

the resulting SSL certificate and key. For more information, 

contact the Interland Sales team at 1 800 214 1460.

Apache's Configuration Files

Apache's configuration files consist of a series of configuration directives. There 

are over 200 directives that Apache understands in its base configuration, and 

many more when additional modules are included, as has been done on your 

VPS server. Because of this, it is not possible to discuss custom configuration of 

your Apache server in detail in this guide. If you have a need to customize the 

configuration of your Apache server, we recommend that you consult the following 

URL for information about Apache's configuration directives:
