Workshop

The workshop is designed to help you anticipate possible questions, review what you've learned, and begin putting your knowledge into practice.

Quiz

1.	How can you specify the location where you want to install Apache?
2.	What is the main difference between <Location> and <Directory> sections?
3.	What is the difference between a restart and a graceful restart?

Answers

1.	Linux/Unix users can use the --prefix option of the configure script. If an existing installation is present at that location, the configuration files will be preserved but the binaries will be replaced. On Windows, this location is set in the installation wizard.
2.	Directory sections refer to file system objects; Location sections refer to elements in the address bar of the Web page (also called the URI).
3.	During a normal restart, the server is stopped and then started, causing some requests to be lost. A graceful restart allows Apache children to continue to serve their current requests until they can be replaced with children running the new configuration.
