Apache server status can be checked by using the `mod_status` module which provides information on server activity and performance. Follow these steps to check the status:
1. Enable the mod\_status module in your Apache HTTP server To do this, you will need to go to your Apache configuration file (which is usually located in /etc/httpd/conf or /etc/apache2 depending on your OS). Look for these lines and uncomment them (i.e., remove the ‘#’ at the beginning of the line):
\`\`\` LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so \`\`\` \`\`\`1. Restart your Apache Server You can usually do this with one of the following commands:
– In Ubuntu/Debian \`\`\` sudo service apache2 restart \`\`\` – In CentOS/RedHat \`\`\` sudo service httpd restart \`\`\`1. Check Server Status In your web browser, go to your domain (or localhost if running locally) followed by /server-status
\`\`\` http://your-domain-name-or-ip/server-status \`\`\` This should show you a page displaying your Apache server status information.Important: Apache `mod_status` should be securely configured to only allow certain trusted IP addresses to access the server status page. The unrestricted access can expose sensitive information, so it’s strongly recommended not to allow access to the server-status page from outside of your local network.
