Enable the Apache server status module

To use the Apache status module, SSH into your server as root and create the file:

/etc/apache-sp/conf.d/mod_status.conf

with the contents:

<IfModule !status_module>
LoadModule status_module lib/sp-apache/mod_status.so
</IfModule>

and then restart Apache.

Terminal window
sudo service apache-sp restart

Next, create an app on the server and add the following to the app’s .htaccess file:

<Files apache-status>
SetHandler server-status
# Uncomment to only allow status page requests from within the server.
# Require ip 127.0.0.1
</Files>

You can then request the status page at the path /apache-status using any of the app’s domain names as the hostname of the request. Add ?auto to the request URL for an output format that is easier for scripts to parse.

See the mod_status documentation for more information.
