alternatively you can also check the service as

# /etc/init.d/apache2 status

Hi,

First of all check that the server is running or not?

@kaskhedikar_tushar: sure the server runs ;-)

Make sure that mod_status is loaded and on somewhere in httpd.conf or an included configuration file:

LoadModule status_module /path/to/mod_status.so

Optionally enable extended status:
<IfModule mod_status.c>
ExtendedStatus On
</IfModule>

Decide where you want to access the status page. You can add it to the server config or a specific vhost and the URL can be configured as well. For simplicity, lets assume you have one vhost and want to access www.mydomain.com/server-status. Add this to that vhost:

<Location /server-status>
  SetHandler server-status
</Location>

It's SetHandler that does the magic. It makes sure that whenever the Location is requested, the output of mod_status is shown. You can add Allow/Deny rules to make sure only you can see what's going on, but that's a different subject.

Hi

I already had that in my virtual server.conf:

<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</Location>

In my /etc/apache2/mod_status.conf I have

==#
# Allow server status reports generated by mod_status,
# with the URL of http://servername/server-status
#
# see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/mod/mod_status.html
#
<IfModule mod_status.c>
    <Location /server-status>
        SetHandler server-status
        Order deny,allow
        #Deny from all
Allow from all
    </Location>
</IfModule>

But when I call http://www.myvhost.com/server-status/

I get a 404 error, so something must be missing.

Thanks for helping...

Seems it is not loaded.

Where do I have to change something so it will be loaded?

Regarding using status or server-status with rcapache2: on SuSE "status" show wethere the server is running or not:

 rcapache2 status
Checking for httpd2:                                                  running

so thats why server-status has to be used....

I finally found out what was missing, I had to call

a2enmod mod_status

after that everything was working.

thanks for your help

the apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES command helped me to find the module was not loaded, so i just had to search on how to load it on a suse system

By the way, its possible to call /server-status/ with a slash at the end, works...
