First of all, you should be convinced, that your server uses the mod_status module. For this purpose open in your text editor a web server configuration file httpd.conf. Find the section loading modules and check up, whether there is there a line:
LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
This line can differ a little depending on the version of your server and operation system. If this line has ahead a symbol # that remove it.
Now you should locate lines:
# Real-time info on requests and configuration
#Include conf/extra/httpd-info.conf
and uncomment second line:
# Real-time info on requests and configuration
Include conf/extra/httpd-info.conf
Now need to proceed to a configuration of the status. Open conf/extra/httpd-info.conf file and find the lines:
#ExtendedStatus On
Remove # symbol:
ExtendedStatus On
Check your domain name:
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from .yourdomain.com
</Location>
Or for testing:
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</Location>
Line "Allow from .yourdomain.com" enables queries of the status from any computer of your domain(yourdomain.com). If you want to limit access only for the your computer, you should write "Allow from yourcomputer.yourdomain.com". Where your computer is a name of your computer and yourdomain - a name of your domain. Also you can write "Allow from all". In this case, the statistics of your wed server will be accessible from any computer in the Internet. We urgently do not recommend so to do, you should have very serious reason for this purpose!
Your web server configuration is finished! Now you should save your changes and restart your web the server.
