View httpd.conf through web browser

[mazhar_shaikh]

Hello,

How can we see httpd.conf through web browser. I am using this script. I am using mozilla firefox and Internet Explorer.

========================================

<?php
$handle = fopen("/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf", "r");
echo $handle;
?>

========================================

Any idea?

This file is owned by the system's root user and by default it does not have the proper permissions for a php script to open for reading. If you want to see the file and are on a shared web server, ask your web host provider for a copy - they may or may not do so, though.

There are a couple of WHM file managers out there, we use the one from http://configserver.com/ You can then edit all the files via a web browser.

the httpd.conf is 0600 root:root permissions so unless you have root access your not going to be able to view,edit or do anything else with the httpd.conf
