AddHandler


Syntax: AddHandler handler-name extension extension...
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override: FileInfo
Status: Base
Module: mod_mime
Compatibility: AddHandler is only available in Apache 1.1 and later

AddHandler maps the filename extensions extension to the handler handler-name. This mapping is added to any already in force, overriding any mappings that already exist for the same extension. For example, to activate CGI scripts with the file extension ".cgi", you might use:

    AddHandler cgi-script cgi

Once that has been put into your srm.conf or httpd.conf file, any file containing the ".cgi" extension will be treated as a CGI program.
