Summary

This module is designed for the use in test suites and large networks which have to deal with different httpd versions and different configurations. It provides a new container -- <IfVersion>, which allows a flexible version checking including numeric comparisons and regular expressions.

Examples

<IfVersion 2.1.0> # current httpd version is exactly 2.1.0 </IfVersion> <IfVersion >= 2.2> # use really new features :-) </IfVersion>

See below for further possibilities.

<IfVersion> Directive

Description:	contains version dependent configuration
Syntax:	`<IfVersion [[!]operator] version> ... </IfVersion>`
Context:	server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override:	All
Status:	Extension
Module:	mod_version

The <IfVersion> section encloses configuration directives which are executed only if the httpd version matches the desired criteria. For normal (numeric) comparisons the version argument has the format major[.minor[.patch]], e.g. 2.1.0 or 2.2. minor and patch are optional. If these numbers are omitted, they are assumed to be zero. The following numerical operators are possible:

`operator`	description
`=` or `==`	httpd version is equal
`>`	httpd version is greater than
`>=`	httpd version is greater or equal
`<`	httpd version is less than
`<=`	httpd version is less or equal

Example

<IfVersion >= 2.1> # this happens only in versions greater or # equal 2.1.0. </IfVersion>

Besides the numerical comparison it is possible to match a regular expression against the httpd version. There are two ways to write it:

`operator`	description
`=` or `==`	`version` has the form `/regex/`
`~`	`version` has the form `regex`

Example

<IfVersion = /^2.1.[01234]$/> # e.g. workaround for buggy versions </IfVersion>

In order to reverse the meaning, all operators can be preceded by an exclamation mark (!):

<IfVersion !~ ^2.1.[01234]$> # not for those versions </IfVersion>

If the operator is omitted, it is assumed to be =.
