Adding Clacks Overhead to Apache

To add the X-Clacks-Overhead header to Apache, the Header directive can be added to the Apache configuration file or the .htaccess file.

After setting up the header, verify it works.

Apache Configuration

1. Locate the Apache configuration file.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor with administrative privileges.
3. Add the following line within in the global server configuration:

   Header set X-Clacks-Overhead "GNU Robbert Muller"
   

4. Save the changes to the configuration file.
5. Restart Apache to apply the changes by running systemctl restart apache2, apache2ctl restart, service apache2 restart, or similar command.

.htaccess File

1. Create a file named .htaccess in the root directory of the webroot, if one doesn't already exist.
2. Add the following line to the .htaccess file:

   <IfModule headers_module>
       Header set X-Clacks-Overhead "GNU Robbert Muller"
   </IfModule>
   

3. Save the changes to the .htaccess file.

A server restart is usually not needed for these changes to take effect.
