+There are two sets of optiosn that the Apache HTTP Server needs.
+
+The first set covers how it operates. These are as follows:
+
+ The "HostName" field is the name of this host, as it is
+ reported to each client connection. Normally, the fully
+ qualified domain name of the host running the server is
+ returned. If you want this set to something else, however,
+ (usually "www.my.domain") then this can be entered here.
+
+ Additionally, the server needs to know how many connections
+ are allowed at one time - this is the "Max Connections"
+ field. If more than this number of clients attempt to connect
+ at once, the additional connections will be refused. This is
+ used to limit how much system load will be imposed by the HTTP
+ server.
+
+ The "Email Address" field is the address of the person (or
+ system alias) who is the administrator for this web site. In
+ addition to being used by the Apache Server itself, it is also
+ put at the bottom of the sample web page that is created.
+
+ Finally, the "Default User" and "Default Group" fields specify
+ what user id and group id should be used by the server for
+ remote connections. Local connections are kept as the UID and
+ GID of the local process.
+
+The second set of options determine what information is made available
+to each client:
+
+ The "Document Root Path" is the top of the tree of documents
+ that are made avaliable. For example, if the value is
+ "/usr/web", then the URL "http://www.foo.com/doc.html" would
+ translate as "/usr/web/doc.html".
+
+ Similarly, the "User Directory" is the location in each user's
+ home directory where their public web documents are
+ stored. Thus if the value if this is "Public", then the URL
+ "http://www.foo.com/~joe/doc" would translate to the path
+ "~joe/Public/doc".
+
+ Finally, if the URL points to a directory, there is always a
+ "Default Document" that Apache will use. This field holds the
+ name (not the path) of this document. By default, Apache uses
+ the file "index.html". However, some sites may be more used to
+ using the file "welcome.html".
+
+There are a number of other options that can be configured with
+Apache, such as path aliases, masquerading as multiple hosts, server
+child process parameters, and so forth. For more information on these,
+consult the Apache man pages at http://www.apache.org.
