This module is contained in the mod_macro.c
file, and
is not compiled in by default. It provides for using macros within apache
runtime configuration files. These macros can be given arguments.
They are expanded when used (arguments are substituted by their values),
and the result is processed normally.
This documentation describes version 1.1.1 of mod_macro. For the latest version see:
http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho/mod_macro/
$%&@#
'
(good practice).
It means you can put perl sections or whatever you like in a macro. No assumption is made about the lexical structure (quotes, spaces or whatever) within the macro contents but to expect a set of backslash-continued independent lines.
This directive issues an error from the configuration file and stop processing it.
<IfModule !mod_perl.c> Error Hey, you forgot to install mod_perl! I need it! </IfModule>
This directive controls the definition of a macro within the server runtime configuration files. The first argument is the name of the macro. Others are arguments to the macro. It is good practice to prefix argument names with any of '$%&@#', and not macro names with such characters.
<Macro LocalAccessPolicy> order deny,allow deny from all allow from 10.2.16.0/24 </Macro> <Macro RestrictedAccessPolicy $ipnumbers> order deny,allow deny from all allow from $ipnumbers </Macro>
This directive controls the use of a macro. The specified macro is expanded. It must be given the same number of arguments than in the macro definition. The provided values are associated to their corresponding initial argument and are substituted before processing.
Use LocalAccessPolicy ... Use RestrictedAccessPolicy "192.54.172.0/24 192.54.148.0/24"is equivalent, with the macros defined above, to:
order deny,allow deny from all allow from 10.2.16.0/24 ... order deny,allow deny from all allow from 192.54.172.0/24 192.54.148.0/24
This directive issues a warning from the configuration file. Processing goes on.
<IfDefine !RunProxy> Warning The PROXY will not run! </IfDefine> <IfDefine RunProxy> # proxy configuration ... </IfDefine>
