Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
Description: | Version dependent configuration |
---|---|
Status: | Extension |
Module Identifier: | version_module |
Source File: | mod_version.c |
Compatibility: | Available in version 2.0.56 and later |
This module is designed for the use in test suites and large
networks which have to deal with different httpd versions and
different configurations. It provides a new container -- <IfVersion>
, which
allows a flexible version checking including numeric comparisons and
regular expressions.
<IfVersion 2.4.2> # current httpd version is exactly 2.4.2 </IfVersion> <IfVersion >= 2.5> # use really new features :-) </IfVersion>
See below for further possibilities.
Description: | contains version dependent configuration |
---|---|
Syntax: | <IfVersion [[!]operator] version> ...
</IfVersion> |
Context: | server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess |
Override: | All |
Status: | Extension |
Module: | mod_version |
The <IfVersion>
section encloses
configuration directives which are executed only if the
httpd
version
matches the desired criteria. For normal (numeric) comparisons the
version argument has the format
major[.minor[.patch]]
, e.g.
2.1.0
or 2.2
. minor and
patch are optional. If these numbers are omitted, they are
assumed to be zero. The following numerical operators are
possible:
operator | description |
---|---|
= or == |
httpd version is equal |
> |
httpd version is greater than |
>= |
httpd version is greater or equal |
< |
httpd version is less than |
<= |
httpd version is less or equal |
<IfVersion >= 2.3> # this happens only in versions greater or # equal 2.3.0. </IfVersion>
Besides the numerical comparison it is possible to match a regular expression against the httpd version. There are two ways to write it:
operator | description |
---|---|
= or == |
version has the form
/regex/ |
~ |
version has the form
regex |
<IfVersion = /^2.4.[01234]$/> # e.g. workaround for buggy versions </IfVersion>
In order to reverse the meaning, all operators can be preceded by an
exclamation mark (!
):
<IfVersion !~ ^2.4.[01234]$> # not for those versions </IfVersion>
If the operator is omitted, it is assumed to be
=
.
