How to enable server-status?

[simpel]

I cant get it to work somehow.

i editted the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf file and set:

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Require host www.ourserverhostname.tld
    Require ip 213.61.xx.xxx
</Location>

next i did a config check:

apachectl -t
Syntax OK

also made sure the needed modules are loaded:

httpd -M |grep authz
 authz_host_module (static)
 authz_groupfile_module (static)
 authz_user_module (static)
 authz_dbm_module (static)
 authz_owner_module (static)
 authz_dbd_module (static)
 authz_core_module (static)

httpd -M |grep info
 info_module (static)

httpd -M |grep status
 status_module (static)

restart apache and vistied the url:

www.ourserverhostname.tld/server-status

and get:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.


error_log says:

[Mon Sep 02 12:16:37.666608 2019] [access_compat:error] [pid 29236:tid 140170980239104] [client 213.61.xx.xxx:43470] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/server-status


so how to fix this?

I'm on centos 7 with the latest directadmin and everything updated

Hello,

From here everything is looking fine. Will it work if you remove the both lines:

  Require host www.ourserverhostname.tld
  Require ip 213.61.xx.xxx

Do you have a reverse-proxy in front of Apache? Nginx probably?

 

[simpel]

yes it works when removing the requires... but this server doesnt use nginx. Also no other reverse-proxy as far as i can tell.

 

[simpel]

seems that without the requires and looking at the output of server-status, the server status page's client is not my ip address but that from the webserver itself?!

that sounds like a proxy but whenever i visit any other webpage it does show my ip as the client ip.

 

[simpel]

never mind... seems my ip number had changed overnight.

it does work.
