👉 It's a file in an Apache web server configuration directory, defining configuration for a Message-Encrypted Web Application (Web App).
The 'WWW_Message_en.conf' refers to a settings file used by Apache to configure various aspects of the web server's application, including:
1. Configuration options:
-
AllowOverride
sets whether multiple IP addresses are allowed.
-
BaseHTTPRequestHandler._default_web_app_root
specifies the path in which all HTTP requests should be made.
-
ContentSecurityPolicy
checks if content is secured to prevent XSS attacks.
2. Server settings:
-
DocumentRoot
: The path for the web server's root directory (the root of the web application).
-
ServerName
: The name of the domain hosting the web server, in this case 'example.com'.
-
AdminUser
: A username used to authenticate users.
-
AdminPassword
: A password used to authenticate users.
-
SessionCacheSize
determines how long users will be cached in their session.
3. HTTP Server settings:
-

: Determines if logging should be output when the server is running, as part of its shutdown process.
-
ErrorPages
: Specifies a list of pages that are served when an error occurs.
4. Security settings:
-
SSL:
Enables SSL for the web server.
-
ContentSecurityPolicy:
Controls content security rules to prevent XSS attacks.
5. Debugging and logging settings:
-
DebugMode': Allows debugging without affecting normal operations.
-
Logging:
Logs all HTTP requests in a file that can be read by an external tool.
6. Performance tuning:
-
MaxClients
: Limits the number of active connections to prevent overwhelming the server.
Each setting is crucial for implementing secure web applications.
