Re: Regarding "<IfDefine>" directive in httpd.conf

To be more clearer, it would be really helpful if you could let me know the means by which we can dynamically update the httpd.conf to enable/disable a particular marco similar to "-DSSL" which does in command line.

Hi Apache folks,

 

This is regarding "<IfDefine>" directive in httpd.conf for apache-2.2.x .

 

My httpd.conf had all SSL related configuration wrapped under <IfDefine SSL> as below,

 

<IfDefine SSL>

....

SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/server.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/server.key

....

...

</IfDefine>

 

Till now based on the system configuration, I would decide if I need to start apache with -DSSL or not (to enable/disable https feature).

 

I would need to know if there is any other alternative means by which, instead of defining the macro from command line (like -DSSL), can it be defined in the httpd.conf itself ? So that I can just start apache everytime by just running httpd.exe instead of caring on command line options ?

 

Please do let me know your views on this.

 

Thanks and regards,

Sathya
