-This file has two major functions.
-For the Apache web server, it defines a global
-access configuration which defines what server options (Indexes", "Includes",
-"FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews") are associated
-with specific directories ("/", "/home/httpd/html", "/home/httpd/cgi-bin",
-and "/usr/doc").  For the LON-CAPA network server and perl module
-handlers, it defines machine specific settings (lonHostID, lonRole,
-lonAdmEMail, lonDefDomain, lonLoadLim, lonExpire, and lonReceipt)
-and internal machine settings for specific directories, socket ports,
-and browser detection logic.
