info.conf: It is installed to the samples-conf.d directory, so no worries here that we enable the status pages for loopback, since the admin has to copy to conf.d. There is a performance consideration however with the DNS lookup (allow from .example.com). Before: admin has to copy to conf.d but they don't have a working configuration until they fix the "allow from" to allow access to valid clients (a lot of admins did s/.example.com/127.0.0.1/) Now: admin just has to copy to conf.d and it starts working for loopback, but Apache first does a reverse DNS lookup to see if the client's hostname matches .example.com I suggest commenting out the "Allow from .example.com" to avoid the working-in-degraded-mode scenario.
