title: About the apache_conf Resource
---
# apache_conf
Use the `apache_conf` InSpec audit resource to test the configuration settings for Apache. This file is typically located under `/etc/apache2` on the Debian and Ubuntu platforms and under `/etc/httpd` on the Fedora, CentOS, RedHat Enterprise Linux, and ArchLinux platforms. The configuration settings may vary significantly from platform to platform.
## Syntax
An `apache_conf` InSpec audit resource block declares configuration settings that should be tested:
describe apache_conf('path') do
its('setting_name') { should eq 'value' }
end
where
* `'setting_name'` is a configuration setting defined in the Apache configuration file
* `('path')` is the non-default path to the Apache configuration file
* `{ should eq 'value' }` is the value that is expected
## Matchers
This InSpec audit resource matches any service that is listed in the Apache configuration file:
its('PidFile') { should_not eq '/var/run/httpd.pid' }
or:
its('Timeout') { should eq 300 }
For example:
describe apache_conf do
its('MaxClients') { should eq 100 }
its('Listen') { should eq '443'}
end
