Check whether Apache loaded a specific config?

Question

Having many configuration files, I put up one file but I don't see its effects.

Either my config is WRONG, OR the config files are NOT LOADED by Apache.

Is there a command I can fire to see wether a specific config file got loaded by Apache or not?

apachectl configtest

Does not print errors. Server restarts without error.

From command line you can also run the following arguments with the Apache binary to get additional information:

-t -D DUMP_VHOSTS  : show parsed vhost settings
-t -D DUMP_RUN_CFG : show parsed run settings
-t -D DUMP_MODULES : show all loaded modules

Hope this helps!

If you have the mod_info module activated, simply access

http://[you server's IP]/server-info

There you'll see the entire Apache configuration.

I have info_module and the address results in a 404. I think your solution generally works but not in my case.. – Daniel W. Feb 25 '14 at 13:41

@DanFromGermany make sure that you also have appropriate handlers configured as per that link. If you get 404 that means Apache is not treating it as mod_info request but rather a regular one. – Mxx Feb 25 '14 at 13:46

You can do this with apachectl.

apachectl -D DUMP_INCLUDES

or

apachectl -D DUMP_INCLUDES -f /path/to/your/httpd.conf
