+There are two sets of options that the Apache HTTP Server needs.
+
+The first set covers how it operates. These are as follows:
+
+        The "HostName" field is the name of this host, as it is
+        reported to each client connection. Normally, the fully
+        qualified domain name of the host running the server is
+        returned.  If you want this set to something else, however,
+        (usually "www.my.domain") then this can be entered here.
+
+        Additionally, the server needs to know how many connections
+        are allowed at one time - this is the "Max Connections"
+        field. If more than this number of clients attempt to connect
+        at once, the additional connections will be refused. This is
+        used to limit how much system load will be imposed by the HTTP
+        server.
+
+        The "Email Address" field is the address of the person (or
+        system alias) who is the administrator for this web site.  In
+        addition to being used by the Apache Server itself, it is also
+        put at the bottom of the sample web page that is created.
+
+        Finally, the "Default User" and "Default Group" fields specify
+        what user id and group id should be used by the server for
+        remote connections.  Local connections are kept as the UID and
+        GID of the local process.
+
+The second set of options determine what information is made available
+to each client:
+
+        The "Document Root Path" is the top of the tree of documents
+        that are made avaliable. For example, if the value is
+        "/usr/web", then the URL "http://www.foo.com/doc.html" would
+        translate as "/usr/web/doc.html".
+
+        Similarly, the "User Directory" is the location in each user's
+        home directory where their public web documents are
+        stored. Thus if the value if this is "Public", then the URL
+        "http://www.foo.com/~joe/doc" would translate to the path
+        "~joe/Public/doc".
+
+        Finally, if the URL points to a directory, there is always a
+        "Default Document" that Apache will use. This field holds the
+        name (not the path) of this document. By default, Apache uses
+        the file "index.html". However, some sites may be more used to
+        using the file "welcome.html".
+
+There are a number of other options that can be configured with
+Apache, such as path aliases, masquerading as multiple hosts, server
+child process parameters, and so forth. For more information on these,
+consult the Apache man pages at http://www.apache.org.
