How to enable server-status on apache2?

Question

I'm running a LAMP stack on Raspbian and I'd like to see the apache server-status page. I've checked that mod-status is enabled and I've added a directive in apache2.conf to allow anyone to see the page while I test it:

<Location /server-status>
 SetHandler server-status
 Order deny,allow
 Deny from all
 Allow from all
</Location>

When I navigate to the page I'm still getting a 'forbidden' warning. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Remove this line:

Deny from all

This should make the status page available to anyone.

When you want to restrict the IP addresses that can access the status page, put that line back. On the Allow line, replace all with the IP address of your PC/laptop.
