## Apache Configuration Overview

- Server Configuration (`httpd.conf`)
  Unless you are the server administrator, you generally will not have access to this account. On the DCE systems, you do not have read or write access to this file. Server configuration is read at server start or restart.
- Per Directory (`.htaccess`)
  Certain configuration directives for Apache can be placed within per-directory`.htaccess` files. `.htaccess` file is read on a per request basis.
