The following table describes the fields and buttons on the page. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.
Field or Button
|
Description
|
---|---|
ID |
A unique name for the virtual server. The name must be alphanumeric, though you can also include the period (.), dash (-), and underscore (_) characters. |
Hosts |
A space-separated list of values allowed in the Host request header to select the current virtual server. |
MIME Types File |
The MIME types file maps file extensions to file types. This list shows the MIME types files available on your server. |
HTTP Listeners |
HTTP listeners control the connections between clients and virtual servers. Check the HTTP listener or listeners you want the virtual server to use. |
Default Web Module |
The default web module for this virtual server, which responds to all requests that cannot be resolved to other web modules deployed to this virtual server. |
ACLs |
Check the ACL or ACLs you want applied to this virtual server. |
State |
Determines whether a virtual server is On (responding to requests) Off, or Disabled. If you choose Disable, you are indicating that the server is turned off for more serious reasons than simple maintenance. This state is the virtual server's state, which is independent of whether the server instance is on or off. If a virtual server's state displayed on this page is On, the virtual server can only accept requests if the server instance is on as well. This is true of the default virtual server for the default server instance as well. If you turn off your server instance, your default virtual server may still be set to On, but will not accept connections. |
Accept Language |
Check to turn accept language header parsing on for this virtual server. The default is on. |
Log File |
Absolute path to the directory where your server log file is stored. The server log file is where informational messages and errors are logged. |
Document Root |
The absolute path to the central directory that contains all the virtual server's files you want to make available to remote clients. |
Directory |
For CGIs. The directory to chdir to after chroot but before execution begins. |
Nice |
The increment that determines a CGI program's priority relative to the server. Typically, the server is run with a nice value of 0 and the nice increment would be between 0 (the CGI program runs at same priority as server) and 19 (the CGI program runs at much lower priority than server). While it is possible to increase the priority of the CGI program above that of the server by specifying a nice increment of -1, this is not recommended. |
User |
The name of the user to execute CGI programs as. |
Group |
The name of the group to execute CGI programs as. |
Chroot |
The directory to chroot to before execution begins. |
Access Log |
The absolute path to the file where HTTP accesses to the virtual server are logged. |
Bandwidth Limit |
The maximum bandwidth limit for the virtual server in bytes per second. |
Enforce Bandwidth Limit |
Specifies whether the bandwidth limit should be enforced. If the limit is enforced the virtual server refuses connections after reaching the limit. |
Connection Limit |
The maximum number of concurrent connections for the virtual server. |
Enforce Connection Limit |
Specifies whether the connection limit should be enforced. If the limit is enforced the virtual server refuses connections after reaching the limit. |
Save |
Saves your changes. |
Reset |
Resets the values on the page to the default values. |
