Apache handlers
Apache is an open-source HTTP server, and is used to serve
your site. Apache handlers tell the server how to deal with
web files that need to be processed on the server. For example,
Apache is set up to process files with .pl extensions using
Perl. However, if for some reason you also wanted to process
files with .script extension using Perl, then you would
have to set up a custom Apache handler for your site.
Note: People often get confused as to
the difference between MIME types and Apache handlers. Basically,
MIME types tell your browser how to handle
files, while Apache handlers tell the server
how to handle files.
Warning: Check with your hosting administrator
before adding an Apache handler, as they
can easily alter the correct functioning of your web site.
To add an Apache handler:
-
Click on the Apache handlers button
on the home page.
-
Enter the file extension in the Extension(s)
field. You need to add the . before
the extension name.
-
Enter the Apache handler in the Handler
field. Have a look at the list of system-wide Apache
handlers to show you how to add a new one or add to
a pre-existing one.
-
Click on the Add button.
