Restore the default web configuration

You can restore the default Apache configuration without reinstalling Apache.

The folders with Apache configuration files have read-only .default files that store default Apache settings. You can run a command in Terminal that replaces all changed configuration files with these default files.

For information about important Apache configuration files, see the ReadMe.txt file in /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/.

  1. Open Terminal.

  2. Enter the following command:

    $ sudo serveradmin command web:command=restoreFactorySettings

    When you see web = _empty_dictionary, you’ve successfully restored factory settings for web service.
