Review Questions

1. No startup script exists to start, stop, or restart your apache server. What is the most nearly universal command that you can use to start the Apache server?

2. You wish to enable .htaccess files on your web server to enable user-based access. Where should these files be located?

3. You have noticed that an .htaccess file you have created is not being recognized. You have copied it from another server, so you know it is formatted correctly What can you do to solve this problem?

4. You need to run htpasswd for the first time and create a database named /etc/apache2/users. What command should you issue to create the database?

5. You wish to start the Apache server with SSL support. What command would you issue? Also, what files might need to be edited to enable SSL support?

6. You wish to create a virtual host in an older version of Apache. What file should you edit to enable virtual hosts?

7. You wish to forbid all web-based access to URLs that contain the words Paris and Hilton. You have created the following ACL entry in Squid:

   acl Paris1 url_regex Paris
           acl Hilton1 url_regex Hilton
           http_access deny Paris1
           http_access deny Hilton1
           http_access allow all

   However, you still notice that many users have been able to access URLs such as http://naughtysite.us/paris. Why is this the case?
