(2) Configuration file

The file that defines the operating environment of HTTP Server is called a configuration file. You cannot specify full-width characters or Unicode supplementary characters outside of comment lines in the configuration file. Each line in a configuration file can have a maximum of 8,191 characters.

The following table describes the application of these files.

Table 2‒1: Application of the configuration files
File name	Application	Standard Provision
httpsd.conf	This file defines the operating environment of HTTP Server with various directives. The System Administrator manages the file.	Y
mime.types	This file defines the relationship between the file extension of content and the content type (MIME type). The system administrator manages the file. For details on the specification format, see the explanation of the `TypesConfig` directive.	Y
.htaccess	The access control file defines access control. The end-user creates this file as required, under the directory for which access is to be controlled (The default file name is `.htaccess`).	N
