<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module is designed for the use in test suites and large
    networks which have to deal with different httpd versions and
    different configurations. It provides a new container -- <code class="directive"><a href="#ifversion">&lt;IfVersion&gt;</a></code>, which
    allows a flexible version checking including numeric comparisons and
    regular expressions.</p>

    <div class="example"><h3>Examples</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion 2.4.2&gt;
    # current httpd version is exactly 2.4.2
&lt;/IfVersion&gt;

&lt;IfVersion &gt;= 2.5&gt;
    # use really new features :-)
&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>
</div>

    <p>See below for further possibilities.</p>

    <p>The <code class="directive">&lt;IfVersion&gt;</code> section encloses
    configuration directives which are executed only if the
    <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> version
    matches the desired criteria. For normal (numeric) comparisons the
    <var>version</var> argument has the format
    <code><var>major</var>[.<var>minor</var>[.<var>patch</var>]]</code>, e.g.
    <code>2.1.0</code> or <code>2.2</code>. <var>minor</var> and
    <var>patch</var> are optional. If these numbers are omitted, they are
    assumed to be zero. The following numerical <var>operator</var>s are
    possible:</p>

    <table class="bordered"><tr class="header"><th><var>operator</var></th><th>description</th></tr>
<tr><td><code>=</code> or <code>==</code></td>
        <td>httpd version is equal</td></tr>
<tr class="odd"><td><code>&gt;</code></td>
        <td>httpd version is greater than</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>&gt;=</code></td>
        <td>httpd version is greater or equal</td></tr>
<tr class="odd"><td><code>&lt;</code></td>
        <td>httpd version is less than</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>&lt;=</code></td>
        <td>httpd version is less or equal</td></tr>
</table>

    <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion &gt;= 2.3&gt;
    # this happens only in versions greater or
    # equal 2.3.0.
&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>
</div>

    <p>Besides the numerical comparison it is possible to match a
    <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#regex" title="see glossary">regular expression</a>
    against the httpd version. There are two ways to write it:</p>

    <table class="bordered"><tr class="header"><th><var>operator</var></th><th>description</th></tr>
<tr><td><code>=</code> or <code>==</code></td>
        <td><var>version</var> has the form
            <code>/<var>regex</var>/</code></td></tr>
<tr class="odd"><td><code>~</code></td>
        <td><var>version</var> has the form
            <code><var>regex</var></code></td></tr>
</table>

    <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion = /^2.4.[01234]$/&gt;
    # e.g. workaround for buggy versions
&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>
</div>

    <p>In order to reverse the meaning, all operators can be preceded by an
    exclamation mark (<code>!</code>):</p>

    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion !~ ^2.4.[01234]$&gt;
    # not for those versions
&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>


    <p>If the <var>operator</var> is omitted, it is assumed to be
    <code>=</code>.</p>
