Where best to put Apache directives?

Allright, I'm setting up mod_spamhaus and mod_slotlimit as per HOWTO's on this site. Each require "IfModule" code but the instructions say to put it in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

I'm thinking it would be better to put mod_spamhaus in ISPC's interface under Apache Directives possibly. Can I have custom IFMODULES per website in the directives? That way spamhaus wouldn't be used on smaller websites.

Code:

<IfModule mod_spamhaus.c>
MS_METHODS POST,PUT,OPTIONS,CONNECT
MS_WhiteList /etc/spamhaus.wl
MS_CacheSize 256
</IfModule>

Mod_slotlimit requires the following to be in the apache2.conf. Is it wise to put it in there? Or, does ISPC need it to be elsewhere? This is a global setting.

Code:

<IfModule mod_slotlimit.c>
AvailableSlotsPercent 15
MaxConnectionsPerSite 30
LimitSite www.BadSite.xxx
LimitSiteConnections 15
ClientIpLimit 15
ForceVhostName On
</IfModule>

 

I *think* you can put this in virtual hosts as well, but I haven't tried.

Yes, you can put it in the apache2.conf if this should be a global setting.

 

Sorry to wake up this old thread, but I'd need confirmation that a global directive setup into /etc/apache2/apache2.conf will well be applied to all websites on ISPConfig websites.
And what if a similar directive is applied on a particular website ? Which one will be taken by Apache ?
Thanks !

 

Options you set in global config ( apache2.conf ) are usually valid everywhere.
If you overwrite these options on vhost level ( or just later in the config ) they're going to "take over" if they match the request ( virtualhost, directory, htaccess ... ).
