Apache is an open-source HTTP server, and is used to
serve your site. Apache handlers tell the server how
to deal with web files that need to be processed on
the server. For example, Apache is set up to process
files with .pl extensions using Perl. However, if for
some reason you also wanted to process files with .script
extension using Perl, then you would have to set up
a custom Apache handler for your site.
Note: People often get confused as
to the difference between MIME types and Apache handlers.
Basically, MIME types tell your browser
how to handle files, while Apache handlers tell the
server how to handle files.
Warning: Check with your hosting
administrator before adding an Apache
handler, as they can easily alter the correct functioning
of your web site.
To add an Apache handler:
Click on the Apache handlers button
on the home page.
Enter the file extension in the Extension(s)
field. You need to add the . before
the extension name.
Enter the Apache handler in the Handler
field. Have a look at the list of system-wide Apache
handlers to show you how to add a new one or add
to a pre-existing one.
