Apache Handlers

Apache Handlers allow you to control how Apache will manage certain file types. When Apache recognizes a file, it has an action built-in for that file type and will perform that action. If you want Apache to perform a different action, you will need to make a handler to tell Apache to perform that action.

For example, if you use a file type that requires a unique service to run, such as a file with server-side includes that is not named with a .shtml extension, you need to tell Apache to treat these files differently.

For more information on how to use Apache Handlers in cPanel, please refer to cPanel's official documentation.
