Apache httpd server-info and server-status

Question

I am on Windows 7, using Apache 2.2.29. I modified my httpd.conf file to load moduels for mod-info.so and mod-status.so and in my extra/httpd-info.conf, I updated server-status and server-info Location stancas to allow from

So, in my httpd.conf, I uncommented these:

LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.so
LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so

and in my extra/httpd-info.conf, I modified as below to add my ip-address in "Allow from":

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from my-ip-address:no-port#
</Location>

<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from my-ip-address-no-port
</Location>

If I just enter my-ip-address:my-port in browser, I get

"It Works!"

However, when I try to get info and status of my server, I get

for server-info:

Not Found
The requested URL /server-info was not found on this server.

for server-status:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /server-status on this server.

I am new to Apache, please provide explanation. Much appreciated,

On modern windows, If you edit httpd.conf from your normal user account you can end up creating a 2nd copy specific to your userid that the server doesn't see. Make sure to edit it as Administrator.
