What is Apache Handlers in cpanel ?How to manage it ?

Apache handlers control how your site’s Apache web server software manages certain file types and file extensions. Apache can handle CGI scripts and server-parsed files. The file extensions for these files include .cgi, .pl, .plx, .ppl, .perl, and .shtml.

You can configure Apache to use an existing handler to handle a new file type. To do this, manually add the handler and extension in this interface.

To Create an Apache Handler:
======

1.Enter the handler name in the Handler text box. cPanel includes the following built-in handlers:

default-handler — Sends the file and uses Apache’s default handler for static content.
send-as-is — Sends the file with HTTP headers intact.
cgi-script — Handles the file as a CGI script.
imap-file — Parses the file as an imagemap rule file. 
For more information, read Apache’s documentation.
server-info — Retrieves the server’s configuration information.
server-parsed — Parses the file for server-side includes.
server-status — Retrieves the server’s status report.
type-map — Parses the file as a type map file. 

2.Enter the file extension in the Extension(s) text box.

A file extension consists of the letters after the dot (.) in a file name (for example, filename.fileextension).
Space-separate multiple extensions (for example, .cgi .pl .ppl).

3.Click Add.

To Remove an Apache Handler:
=============

1.Click Delete under the Remove heading for the appropriate handler in the User Defined Apache Handlers table.
2.Click Yes.
