Apache handlers<\/strong> control how your Apache web server software that host your site to manages certain file types and file extensions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apache<\/a> can accept and route specific traffic to certain ports and domains based on specific address-port combination requests. By default, Listen runs on port 80 but Apache can be bound to different ports for different domains, allowing for many different websites and domains to be hosted and a single server.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Apache Web server<\/a> can handle CGI scripts and server-parsed files. The file extensions for these files include .cgi, .pl, .plx, .ppl, .perl, and .shtml. If you also wanted to process files that have .script extensions as Perl files, you could set up a custom Apache handler for your site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
